  "account": "Four Undangs from Negeri Sembilan, along with the Tunku Besar of Tampin, have pleaded with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the Attorney-General's Chambers not to interfere in the state's internal affairs. At a press conference in Seremban, the Undangs asserted that Articles 10 and 11 of the Negeri Sembilan Constitution 1959 granted them exclusive powers to appoint and remove the state's ruler. They warned the prime minister against using federal agencies to disrupt the state administration, stating that any such unconstitutional action would be a breach of the prime minister's oath of office and violate the principle of federalism. The Undangs also cautioned against political parties meddling in the state's internal matters and dismissed claims that Tuanku Muhriz's removal was carried out by the state's chief minister and executive council, calling it \"malicious slander.\"",
  "summary": "The four purported undangs and the Tunku Besar of Tampin say Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the AGC have no jurisdiction to interfere in their constitutional prerogatives.",
