  "account": "Sepang: It is anticipated that Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, will return to the state tonight to address a current crisis. Datuk Seri Megat D Shahriman Zaharudin, chairman of the Sekretariat Taat Setia Sokongan Yang Dipertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan, announced that Tuanku Muhriz is set to arrive at 9.50pm. While speaking to reporters at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 today, he expressed his intention to personally examine the situation and rectify the matter in accordance with the law. According to His Royal Highness, he is returning to understand the situation and resolve the matter because the decisions made by the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) are clear. As someone who is close to the people, Tuanku Muhriz wishes to address this crisis appropriately and in line with existing laws, he added. The state executive council had claimed yesterday that the proclamation to remove Tuanku Muhriz was valid and recognized Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja afar as the new Yang di-Pertuan Besar. The council made this decision during a meeting chaired by Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim. However, the DKU has stated earlier that Tuanku Muhriz is still the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan, asserting that no valid process has taken place to end his tenure.",
