  "account": "During the DAP's special congress in Putrajaya today, Loke Siew Fook, the party's Secretary-General, addressed the media and acknowledged the political reality that the party needs to continue working with Umno in the coalition government to ensure stable administration and allow the reform agenda to continue. The Secretary-General noted that this stance was supported by the party's delegates so that DAP could remain in the government until the term ends. \"The delegates have voted for us to remain in the government. This is their desire, understanding that we need to work together with Umno,\" he said at the party's special congress. According to Loke, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also wants the government to remain stable to ensure the planned agenda can be implemented, despite differences in stance among parties in the coalition. He discussed Anwar's position to continue working with Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) in the Perpaduan (Unity) government for the sake of stability and people's prosperity. Loke also rebutted DAP's claim of using the congress to pressure Anwar to carry out what was claimed as \"DAP's agenda.\" He said, the reform such as separating the roles of public prosecutor and prosecution, limiting the term of prime minister to two terms, and handling living expenses is not just DAP's agenda but a shared agenda or promises that were agreed upon through the manifesto during the previous elections. The special congress saw DAP delegates pass a motion to ensure the party remains in the Unity government until the term ends.",
