  "account": "The DAP has accepted the PRN outcome for Negeri Sembilan with \"complete disappointment\", stating the party will conduct a thorough assessment and work hard to regain public support. Gobind Singh Deo, the party's president, expressed respect for the mandate given by the people and saluted those elected to form the new state government. The message from voters is clear, he said, and the party must and will conduct a thorough assessment of the outcome, listening carefully to the concerns and worries of the people, and working hard to regain their confidence and support. Deo also acknowledged the defeat of DAP Senior Deputy Chief Loke Siew Fook in Chennah, describing it as a fierce contest. Loke, who has served the party and people brilliantly for decades, is sure to continue doing so. Loke's defeat in Chennah was one of the biggest surprises in yesterday's PRN, where he lost his seat to an MCA BN candidate, Siow Kong Choon, with a 688-vote majority. The DAP also lost Repah, another seat they had held for several terms, to MCA. The party retained nine other seats.",
  "summary": "DAP telah menerima keputusan PRN Negeri Sembilan dengan penuh rasa rendah diri. Pengerusi DAP, Gobind Singh Deo, menyatakan parti akan membuat penilaian menyeluruh dan bekerja keras untuk mendapatkan semula sokongan rakyat. Menurut Gobind, mesej daripada pengundi adalah jelas dan parti akan mendengar keluhan serta kebimbangan rakyat.\n\nDAP menghormati mandat diberikan rakyat dan mengucapkan tahniah kepada mereka yang telah dipilih untuk membentuk kerajaan negeri baharu Negeri Sembilan. Gobind juga mengambil maklum kekalahan Setiausaha Agung Loke Siew Fook di Chennah, yang dikategorikan sebagai persaingan yang sengit. Loke telah kalah kepada calon Barisan Nasional daripada MCA, Siow Kong Choon, dengan majoriti 688 undi.\n\nDAP juga kalah di Repah, satu lagi kerusi disandangnya selama beberapa penggal kepada MCA. Namun, parti itu mengekalkan baki sembilan kerusi lain. Menurut Gobind, Loke telah berkhidmat untuk parti dan rakyat dengan cemerlang selama bertahun-tahun, dan parti yakin beliau akan terus berbuat demikian.",
