  "account": "Kelantan's government is set to contemplate the future of state Bersatu chief Kamarudin Nor's role as an exco member, specifically in the tourism, culture, arts, and heritage department, at a meeting scheduled for this Wednesday. Deputy Chief Minister Fadzli Hassan alluded to the matter during an FMT interview, stating that the decision would be finalized by Chief Minister Nassuruddin Daud following the executive council meeting. Rumors have been circulating regarding the government's potential termination of Kamarudin's appointment concerning the aforementioned portfolio. However, Kamarudin, who has been serving as the exco member since August 2023 and has led Bersatu in Kelantan for a decade, has yet to receive a formal letter from the state government concerning the issue. The rumors have emerged amidst escalating tensions between the Islamic party, PAS, and Bersatu, following their suspension of political cooperation on June 8. PAS announced that it would cease all political collaboration with Bersatu following a special meeting of its central working committee.",
