  "summary": "Negeri Sembilan executive council members have been barred from entering their offices and carrying out their duties. Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim said he was informed of the order and urged the relevant authorities to review it, including its basis and scope.\n\nThe police are investigating the Negeri Sembilan royal dispute from various angles following multiple police reports lodged on the matter. According to Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, the police are focusing on preventing any acts of violence and ensuring public safety and order are maintained.\n\nThe dispute has sparked claims and counter-claims surrounding the standing and authority of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan. Meanwhile, Negeri Sembilan state secretary Zafir Ibrahim continued carrying out his job despite being claimed to be suspended by Ismail Lasim, with Zafir saying he was advised by Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar that the suspension was invalid and had not received an official letter.",
