  "account": "Wawasan vice-president Wan Saiful Wan Jan accused the DAP of merely putting on a show when it called for equal constituency allocations for all MPs. He questioned why the DAP had only raised the issue now, more than three years into the unity government's term. Wan Saiful, who represents the Tasek Gelugor MP constituency, stated that while the demand for equal allocation is good in principle, it is merely a show because if the DAP were serious about it, why hadn't it demanded it from the beginning?",
  "summary": "The Wawasan veep says DAP’s push for equal constituency allocations is motivated by fear that it may become the opposition after the next general election.",
