  "account": "KOTA KINABALU - Warisan president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal has outlined a \"red line\" for forming alliances ahead of the upcoming general election. During a press conference, Shafie emphasized that any cooperation must prioritize the well-being of the people over individual interests. He stated that while he is open to working with others, there is a clear boundary which must not be crossed. Shafie also noted that discussions are underway regarding potential alliances with Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) and Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM). Currently, Warisan holds three parliamentary seats while KDM holds one. If a Borneo bloc were to secure 56 seats, Shafie expressed hope for Warisan to win 25 seats alongside their allies, hoping to secure a majority. He noted that while alliances are necessary, they cannot be decided upon until the situation evolves.",
