  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has urged government officials to address disagreements during cabinet meetings rather than on campaign rallies. He expressed concern over some senior government leaders disparaging the administration during political rallies, despite being part of the same coalition. The Prime Minister made this call during the Malam Harapan 2026 event at Pay Fong Middle School Hall, where DAP deputy chairman Nga Kor Ming and Amanah president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu were present. Anwar, who chairs Pakatan Harapan, also defended his collaboration with the DAP, emphasizing that the partnership is grounded in integrity and anti-corruption efforts, not racial divides. Despite the Malay majority being protected, Anwar stressed the importance of supporting minority communities, stating that the government must address the needs of all citizens. He reiterated Malaysia's commitment to inclusivity through policies like Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah, Sumbangan Asas Rahmah, and Early Schooling Aid. Anwar cautioned against allowing racial politics and hatred to sway the public, warning that such narratives jeopardize political stability and economic growth. He highlighted a US$15 billion investment aimed at job creation as evidence of continued investor confidence in Malaysia, despite global uncertainties.",
