  "account": "Ginie Lim, once a Machap Jaya assemblyman from 2018 to 2021, is set to make a political comeback in the constituency. The PKR candidate, who was dropped as the party's candidate for Machap Jaya in 2021, is describing her return as a political \"comeback.\" Lim, who stayed loyal to PKR despite factional disputes, factional infighting, and disciplinary action, told FMT that her loyalty is to the party and its principles, not individual leaders. She received numerous invitations to join other parties but declined, stating that politics is about testing one's loyalty and commitment to the cause and its principles. Lim has expressed improvement in her relationship with party leaders, citing her appointment as Wanita PKR information chief. She acknowledged her past penalties and described them as part of the political process, emphasizing that she is working to make things better and contribute more to the party. The three-way race for Machap Jaya also includes incumbent Ngwe and newcomer Bersama's B Prasanth Kumar.",
