  "summary": "Ten former presidents of the Malaysian Bar have called for federal intervention to resolve constitutional issues surrounding Negri Sembilan's Yang Dipertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz. They criticized the state executive council's purported removal of Tuanku Muhriz without following the required Article 10 process and questioned the validity of a proclamation dated April 19, 2026. The lawyers emphasize the importance of upholding the Federal Constitution and the UUTKNS 1959, urging all parties to respect the rule of law and the sovereignty of the Negri Sembilan monarchy.",
