  "account": "PAS leader Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar is being urged to relinquish his position as chairman of Perikatan Nasional (PN) by a senior Bersatu figure, Dr Afif Bahardin. Dr Afif argues that Samsuri is merely a \"dummy\" acting maliciously against his party members, and that he should return PN leadership to Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin. The reporter notes that the public would remember Samsuri for his dedication to Muhyiddin's request to be PN chairman, before ultimately becoming the person responsible for acting maliciously towards Bersatu and PN. Samsuri claims that any disciplinary actions or legal proceedings against Bersatu would be decided by the PN's Pahang branch after the conclusion of the Melaka PRN (People's Representative Council) session. Samsuri states that his party has received several complaints from constituent parties regarding disciplinary issues related to Bersatu, but each complaint must be supported by strong evidence before any decision is made. Meanwhile, Bersatu Public Relations Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz urges Samsuri and PN Deputy Chairman Takiyuddin Hassan to present evidence that PAS has not violated PN's constitution. Faisal warns that any party members found to be contravening PN regulations and undermining party members who follow regulations and rules. Samsuri and Takiyuddin are asked to gather evidence that PAS as the caretaker of PN has never been unreliable, never betraying external parties without authorization from the PN's Pahang branch and that the PAS President has not violated the PN's Pahang branch's decision. Faisal also claims that based on the Registrar of Societies Malaysia (JPPM) decision, caretaker PN members have failed to prove they did not commit any wrongdoing in order to prevent the union from being canceled. He also asks PAS to explain the date of the debate for dealing with the PRN Melaka that was allegedly made in conjunction with Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN). The question remains: was this debate conducted with PN's Pahang branch's authorization, or has PAS once again violated PN's constitution?",
