  "account": "The Negeri Sembilan executive council declared Tuanku Muhriz's removal as Yang Dipertuan Besar in April as legitimate, designating Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar as the new ruler. This decision came two days after the Negeri Sembilan Dewan Keadilan dan Undang claimed that Tuanku Muhriz remained the state's ruler, arguing that the recent removal attempt was invalid. During a press conference in April with three other undangs, Sungai Ujong undang Mubarak Dohak declared Tuanku Muhriz's removal as the state ruler. Two months later, Tuanku Nadzaruddin was officially proclaimed as the 12th Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan in a ceremony in Melaka. Recently, four purported undangs issued a proclamation to remove Tuanku Muhriz, signed by the state's newly-appointed menteri besar Ismail Lasim. However, Ismail claimed he was forced to sign the document, stating it was invalid.",
