  "account": "PAS leader Ahmad Samsuri is being urged by a Bersatu official to relinquish his position as chairman of Perikatan Nasional (PN), as he is seen as a mere puppet acting deceitfully against his own party. Dr Afif Bahardin, a member of Bersatu's top leadership, stated that Samsuri should return the leadership of the coalition to Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin. Samsuri should resign and give PN back to Muhyiddin to lead, said Dr Afif during an interview with FMT.\n\nDr Afif believes this is a response to a report quoting Samsuri, who claims that any actions or disciplinary proceedings against Bersatu would be deemed untrue if taken after the conclusion of PRN Melaka. Samsuri mentioned that his party has received several complaints from component parties regarding discipline issues involving Bersatu, but every claim needs to be backed by strong evidence before any decision is made.\n\nMeanwhile, Bersatu Spokesperson Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz has urged Samsuri and PN Deputy Chairman Takiyuddin Hassan to provide evidence that PAS is not violating the coalition's charter. Those found guilty of abusing PN's charter, ordering and denying member parties’ rights to take action against those who follow the charter and rules, are what he warned against. Samsuri and Takiyuddin should collect evidence proving that PAS has never been untrustworthy, conspiring with external parties without the mandate of the PN's top leadership (MT) and PAS President, and that PAS has never violated the MT PN's decision.",
