  "account": "Former Perlis Menteri Besar Shukri Ramli dismissed accusations that he was the cause of PAS's weakness, instead calling for responsible leadership to address the concerns of some disgruntled party members. In a lengthy Facebook post, Shukri stated that he should not be blamed for the party's fragmentation and that his sympathies for those affected by his departure should not be seen as a deliberate move to split the party.\n\nShukri acknowledged his current pain for constituents who signed petitions to withdraw their support, but emphasized that he does not want lifelong animosity. However, he urged the accusers to provide support, encouragement, and motivation to the movement, not just to the three former PAS MPs who have been charged. These MPs include former Chuping Saad Seman, Fakhrul Anwar Ismail (Bintong), and Mohd Ridzuan Hashim (Guar Sanji).\n\nThe former Perlis Menteri Besar also resigned from his position on December 25 last year after eight Perikatan Nasional (PN) members, including three PAS members, reportedly withdrew their support. Abu Bakar Hamzah from Bersatu assumed the role of Menteri Besar.",
