  "account": "Negeri Sembilan's Chief Minister, Ismail Lasim, initially rejected a proclamation on April 19 declaring Tuanku Muhriz to be removed from his position, but later endorsed it. This shift in position might become a major issue if the matter reaches the court, according to a lawyer who said it could undermine the validity of Tuanku Muhriz's dismissal. Rosli Dahlan stated that Ismail signed the proclamation without willingness or coercion. Initially, Ismail claimed the document did not comply with Article 10 of the State Institutions Act (UUTKNS), making it invalid, invalid in terms of self-government, and unenforceable. However, on September 17, Ismail announced that the State Council had unanimously endorsed the proclamation, confirming Tuanku Muhriz's removal and ordering the state government to implement it. Rosli noted that this change in position by the Chief Minister might be significant if the matter goes to court. The change in position could be crucial if the matter is taken to court, especially when considering the credibility of Ismail as a witness. Rosli also questioned whether the state government can revive an invalid proclamation once it has been made. If the proclamation is found to be invalid, inoperative, and without effect, can the Chief Minister and exco effectively exercise their powers, given their election by Tuanku Muhriz, whose legitimacy as ruler is being questioned?",
