  "account": "Perikatan Nasional (PN) has announced it will take disciplinary action against the Barisan Nasional (Bersatu) party for violating the coalition's constitution, according to PN secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan. The decision was made during tonight's PN supreme council meeting under Clause 15 of the coalition's constitution, which permits action against component parties.\n\nTakiyuddin stated that PN will lay out charges against Bersatu, and the coalition will provide the party with sufficient time to respond. The severity of the alleged offenses will determine the range of action taken, which could include a warning, suspension, or removal from the coalition. Bersatu did not attend the meeting, which was chaired by PN chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.\n\nThe disciplinary proceedings could encompass several of Bersatu's actions that allegedly went against the coalition's interests. PN plans to scrutinize these actions before finalizing its charges. In a separate announcement, Takiyuddin revealed that PN will use its logo in the upcoming Melaka election on November 14 and will announce its candidate list on October 29, though the final list and number of seats contested remain to be determined.",
