  "account": "The revocation of appointments for 10 former Negeri Sembilan executive council members has been officially announced in the gazette. The Negeri Sembilan Yang Di Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, issued the revocation effective September 20. According to the state constitution, members of the exco, excluding the Menteri Besar, must hold their positions only if the ruler consents. The 10 individuals, comprising members from Umno, MCA, PAS, and Wawasan, violated their oath of allegiance to the ruler, leading to the revocation of their appointments. The exco had previously released a statement endorsing the removal of Tuanku Muhriz as the Negeri Sembilan Yang Di Pertuan Besar, which was contested by the state's Consultative Council and the Attorney-General's Chambers. On September 20, the Negeri Sembilan palace announced the immediate termination of the exco members' appointments.",
