  "account": "Former Malacca speaker Rais Yatim is expected to be charged in Melaka High Court tomorrow, according to the State of Negeri Sembilan's records. The 84-year-old was due to appear before Sultan's Justice Noor Adilla Rajah Mahyaldin at 9 AM. Rais confirmed this information when contacted, stating that the trial will take place at Melaka High Court Complex in Ayer Keroh. The exact charges have not been disclosed yet.\n\nIn July, Negeri Sembilan's Yang Di Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, announced the withdrawal of the state's original charges against Rais, who served as a former chief minister. Deputy Chief Minister Zafir Ibrahim explained that the decision was made to preserve the dignity and honor of the Negeri Sembilan royal institution. Rais played a role in the internal royal crisis in the state, openly supporting the three-step petition and a former deputy for removing Tuanku Muhriz from the throne. The former Jelebu MP was among those present when Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Jaafar was charged as the new Yang Di Pertuan Besar in a hotel in Malacca in June. Negeri Sembilan's government declared the installation invalid from a constitutional, legal, and customary standpoint. Rais was a former Umno leader and currently the chairman of Wawasan.",
