  "account": "Ismail Lasim confirmed the proclamation of Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir stepping down as Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan was decided by unanimous vote of all members of the State Council of State Government (exco) on Tuesday. He stated that the state government has been requested to continue the process of legitimizing the proclamation according to existing regulations. Speaking to journalists in Negeri Sembilan, he said that the proclamation has been discussed and decided upon by all exco members of the state government unanimously on September 15. He also did not take questions from the media. Yesterday, the state exco announced that the proclamation of Tuanku Muhriz stepping down was valid and acknowledged Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’far as the new Yang Di Pertuan Besar. According to him, the proclamation of April 19 was signed and certified by the law, which he believed was valid and enforceable. However, the State Attorney-General's Department (DKU) of Negeri Sembilan today stressed that the state exco's decision does not have legal effect because the matter is outside the jurisdiction of the state government. They said that matters related to Malay custom, including the selection, appointment, dismissal, and punishment of the Yang Di Pertuan Besar and the Undang, fall within their jurisdiction under Article XVI of the State Constitution of Negeri Sembilan 1959 (UUTKNS). Raja Norazli also said that state government officials should not act on instructions to remove Tuanku Muhriz from the throne as such action would contradict UUTKNS and DKU rules.",
