  "summary": "Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has firmly stated that he will not interfere in matters concerning the position of the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, asserting that any disputes involving the royal institution must be resolved under the Constitution and the law. During a speech at a programme in PENDANG, Anwar emphasized that the country's constitutional monarchy system requires any action concerning a ruler to be based on constitutional provisions. He stressed that the issue should not be viewed as a mere political matter but rather as a crucial aspect of the nation's constitutional framework, which must be defended to prevent erosion. Anwar also highlighted that the powers of the Prime Minister and Cabinet are limited by the Constitution and cannot be used to arbitrarily alter matters related to the Malay Rulers.",
