  "account": "Ginie Lim, once a PKR assemblyman from 2018 to 2021, is making a political comeback in the Machap Jaya constituency. After being dropped as the party's candidate for Machap Jaya in 2021, Lim has been involved in various internal disputes and disciplinary actions within the party. Despite facing pressure to leave the party and receiving offers from other parties, Lim has stayed loyal to PKR and its principles. She has been appointed as the Wanita PKR information chief, a role that suggests an improvement in her relationship with party leaders. Lim's tenure with the party has been marked by suspension and complaints, but she views these experiences as part of the political landscape. She aims to improve herself and contribute positively to the party. Lim is currently in a three-way race for the Machap Jaya seat, competing against incumbent Ngwe and newcomer B Prasanth Kumar.",
