  "account": "Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan accused Bersatu of causing Perikatan Nasional's (PN) deregistration by lodging a complaint with the Registrar of Societies (RoS) over PN's exclusion from a supreme council meeting. He blamed Bersatu for betraying its coalition partners, stating that the party was always quick to stab its allies in the back. Takiyuddin's allegations came during an event in Pasir Tumboh, where he claimed that Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had announced a day before a scheduled meeting that his party would contest 24 seats under its own logo instead of PN's. This announcement, Takiyuddin argued, made it impossible for Bersatu to be invited to the supreme council meeting, as per Clause 7.1 of PN's constitution, which pertains to Bersatu's right to attend and participate in the meeting. He defended PN's decision not to invite Bersatu, citing internal issues within the coalition at the time.",
