  "account": "PKR Youth information chief Danish Hairudin urged Pas to concentrate on the issues raised in the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji rather than lecturing Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on foreign policy. Danish criticized Pas for appearing eager to advise on Malaysia's diplomatic position regarding the China-Taiwan issue. He advised Pas to first address the Tabung Haji concerns, before discussing Taiwan. Danish's comments came in response to Pas secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan, who argued Anwar should have advocated peaceful dialogue and restraint over the China-Taiwan conflict. Takiyuddin suggested Malaysia adopt a more cautious stance and avoid taking sides with any major power. Danish highlighted the RCI report's findings on political interference in Tabung Haji decisions, including dividends, haj payments, financial assistance, suspicious investments, and RM22.12 million in under investigation funds.",
