  "summary": "PKR will continue to work with Barisan Nasional and Umno at the federal level, according to PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. This decision aims to preserve political stability for the economy.\n\nAnwar stressed that PKR will remain loyal to its partners in Pakatan Harapan, which include DAP and Amanah. DAP delegates have largely backed staying in the federal government until the end of the current term.\n\nThe delegates urged Prime Minister Anwar to accelerate reforms promised to Malaysians. They argued that leaving the unity government now would amount to abandoning voters and handing political advantage to rival parties, according to a Perak delegate and Sitiawan assemblyman Jason Ng Thien Yeong.",
