  "account": "The revocation of appointments for 10 Negeri Sembilan executive councillors has been officially announced. According to Article XXXVIII(5) of the state constitution, these councillors hold office at the discretion of the ruler, Tuanku Muhriz. The state executive councillors had taken their oaths before Tuanku Muhriz on August 7, 2026. However, they were later found to have breached their oaths. The revocation process was initiated by Tuanku Muhriz and took effect on September 20. The impasse between the state palace and the administration began in April, when Tuanku Muhriz proclaimed the removal of Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Munawir. Despite Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim's initial involvement in the proclamation, he later claimed to have signed it under duress. Following the revocation, the ten exco members are now barred from entering their offices in Wisma Negeri.",
