  "account": "Yesterday, the Perak State Palace withdrew the felony charges against former Chief Minister Rais Yatim, who is set to appear in Melaka High Court next. According to the e-Court system, the 84-year-old is scheduled to face the Rajawali Sultan, Raja Mahyaldin, at 9 a.m. Yatim confirmed the news when contacted, stating that the trial will take place at the Melaka High Court Complex in Ayer Keroh. The exact allegations have not been disclosed. On July, Perak's Yang Di Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, announced the withdrawal of felony charges, which were given to the former Chief Minister, in order to maintain the honor and dignity of the Perak royal institution. State Secretary Zafir Ibrahim said the decision was made to protect the reputation of the Perak royal institution. Yatim played a role in the current Perak royal crisis, openly supporting three ordinances and a former minister to lower Tuanku Muhriz from the throne. Yatim, a former Jelebu parliamentary member for six terms, was among those present when Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Jaafar was declared the new Yang Di Pertuan Besar in a hotel in Melaka in June. Perak Palace declared the announcement invalid in terms of constitution, law, and customary matters. Yatim was the former deputy leader of Umno and currently the president of Wawasan.",
