  "account": "Damian Yeo, the former head of the DAP in Melaka, has announced that he will boycott the upcoming Pakatan Harapan (PH) campaign for the PRN Melaka election due to reports suggesting that PH may consider partnering with Bersatu to contest in the Bemban constituency. (Image courtesy of Facebook)\n\nYeo stated that he only learned about the plan involving PH Plus and the potential handover of the Bemban seat to Bersatu after he was informed by Tey Kok Kiew, another former DAP Melaka head, during a recent meeting.\n\nYeo went on to express his disappointment, saying, \"Forget about it, I'm pulling back. The pain of being stabbed from behind hasn't healed yet. Some political betrayals are too hard to forgive, let alone forget.\" He specifically mentioned Bersatu's role in the downfall of the federal and Melaka PH governments in 2020 as one of the reasons for his decision.\n\nAfter hearing all this, Yeo made the final decision to withdraw from politics altogether. He has no interest in participating in any more political campaigns or elections. Instead, he hopes to focus on other aspects of his life that may be more fulfilling. Good luck to everyone, said Yeo in a Facebook post.",
