  "summary": "Parti Wawasan Negara chairman Tan Sri Dr Mohd Rais Yatim arrived at Ayer Keroh Court Complex in Melaka today, September 25, and is expected to be charged under the Sedition Act. Accompanied by his wife and son, Rais is scheduled to appear before Judge Raja Noor Adilla Raja Mahyaldin. The decision to charge him comes after Negeri Sembilan's Yang Dipertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Muhriz Munawir, revoked the Darjah Seri Utama Negeri Sembilan and Darjah Dato’ Setia Negeri Sembilan awards conferred on Rais in 2001 and 1979. The revocation was made to preserve the dignity, sanctity, and honor of the Negeri Sembilan royal institution. Rais previously served as the menteri besar of Negeri Sembilan from 1978 to 1982.",
