  "account": "During the DAP special congress in Putrajaya, Loke Siew Fook, the party's Secretary-General, stated that the party recognizes the need for continued cooperation with Umno in a coalition government to ensure stability and allow the reform agenda to continue. Loke emphasized that this view was also supported by the party's delegates, who voted to keep DAP within the government until the end of its term. He explained that the delegates had voted for DAP to remain in the government because they fully understood that cooperation with Umno was necessary. The party's Secretary-General noted that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also wants the government to remain stable so that the planned agenda can be implemented, despite differences in outlook among the parties in the government. Loke discussed Anwar's plan to continue cooperation with Umno and the National Front (BN) in the Perpaduan coalition for the benefit of the people. He also pointed out that DAP's claims of using the congress to pressure Anwar to implement what they claim as the \"DAP agenda\" were incorrect. According to Loke, changes such as separating state attorney and prosecution roles, limiting the tenure of the Prime Minister to two terms, and managing living expenses are not DAP's agenda alone, but a shared agenda or promises approved through the manifesto during the previous election. The special congress saw DAP delegates approve a motion to keep the party within the Perpaduan government until the end of its term.",
