  "account": "Jefri Safry, the Deputy Youth Leader of Bersatu Melaka, has left the party to join Wawasan. The decision comes as he feels his commitment to the party's leadership, especially regarding the potential political cooperation between Bersatu and Pakatan Harapan (PH), no longer aligns with his personal principles. According to Jefry, politics should be guided by principles, sincerity, and the people's interests rather than the mere power shift or specific political interests. Speaking to Harian Metro, he emphasized that joining Wawasan opens up new avenues for continuing the struggle, focusing on national unity, societal harmony, and the defense of the people's future. He reiterated that while parties can transform, the mission he owes to the people remains his responsibility. Jefry affirmed that he will not abandon the community that has stood by him since the beginning, and as long as Allah grants him health, strength, and wealth, he will continue to assist those in need, no matter their background, race, or political understanding. He reaffirmed his commitment to approaching the community and assisting the needy irrespective of their social status, race, or political awareness. Jefry stated, \"I may leave Bersatu, but I have never left the struggle for the people. A post and party are not everything; the most important is our sincerity, trust, and responsibility towards the community.\"",
