  "summary": "Pakatan Harapan (PH) Pulau Pinang has decided to retain Barisan Nasional (BN) exco members in the state government, according to Chow Kon Yeow, the party's chairman for the island. This decision aligns with the electoral pact made during PRN 2023, as announced by Chow during a media briefing at DAP Pulau Pinang headquarters. The move comes amid tensions between PH and BN following the recent results in Johor and Negeri Sembilan, with DAP's Senior Advisor Lim Guan Eng urging the Pulau Pinang faction to act firmly due to PN's close relationship with Umno.",
