  "account": "George Town - Penang's Pakatan Harapan (PH) plans to address recent criticisms from an Umno leader during its November meeting, according to Penang PH chairman Chow Kon Yeow. The remarks made at the recent Umno general assembly could potentially be discussed at the coalition leadership's upcoming meeting, although a specific time has not been set. Chow had previously mentioned plans to discuss Umno's position in the state government at a meeting last month, but it did not take place due to several leaders' absence, including the Umno deputy chairman. He stated that they would bring up such issues in the upcoming meetings, responding to queries about discussing Permatang Pauh Umno chief Datuk Mohd Zaidi Mohd Said's criticism of the DAP during their party's general assembly. Zaidi has since resigned from his post as a Seberang Prai City Council councillor. Chow emphasized that the next Penang PH meeting is slated for November but discouraged media attention to each individual meeting, unless significant announcements are made.",
