  "account": "PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man questioned the rationale behind Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin maintaining his party's affiliation with Perikatan Nasional (PN) following Muhyiddin's description of the coalition as \"damaged.\" Muhyiddin's announcement of forming a new coalition suggested that Bersatu would not continue its membership in PN. Furthermore, Muhyiddin explicitly stated that PN was already compromised and that PAS, the party currently leading PN, was responsible for the damage. Given this perception, it would be improbable for Muhyiddin to desire Bersatu to remain in what he viewed as a damaged coalition.",
  "summary": "PAS deputy president says Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin’s announcement that he is forming a new coalition signals that Bersatu will not remain in the coalition.",
