  "account": "Melaka DAP deputy chief Poo Long Suan, who is running for the party's candidate in the upcoming PRN Melaka election, stated that despite former Duyong Adun Damian Yeo's decision to boycott the PH campaign, he still receives support from Yeo. Poo, a member of the DAP Audit Committee, mentioned that Yeo introduced him to several individuals who can assist him in Duyong. He recently met with Yeo a few days ago, who provided guidance and accompanied him to the nomination office to complete the nomination form. Poo added that although Yeo's absence from campaign activities might affect his approach to voters due to Yeo's familiarity with the area, they had a long conversation, and Yeo suggested some individuals who could help him. Poo emphasized that his dedication to serving the community is more important than seeking publicity through social media videos. He stressed that politicians should serve their constituents rather than becoming entertainers. Poo also highlighted his experience as a member of the Hang Tuah Jaya Municipal Council (MPHTJ) as an asset. As an Adun, he is a full-time civil servant, while as a member of the DAP, he is a full-time civil servant. The PRN Melaka nomination is scheduled for November 14, with the first polling day on November 10.",
