  "account": "Recently, an unexpected twist surfaced as Hadi, a prominent PAS activist, expressed his fervor while planning a 'peace and harmony' tea party in Shah Alam on August 16. The event, hosted by the PAS Ulama Council, invited Abdul Rahman Kassim, a Tasek Gelugor resident and enthusiastic event organizer, to bring two friends along. Kassim shared that Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, a PAS candidate for prime minister, would also be present at the gathering.\n\nThe 'peace and harmony' tea party aimed to reach out to Christians in particular, with Kassim expressing his excitement and disappointment if the reporter failed to attend. Despite attending PAS-organized functions in the past, the reporter found them to be mere exchanges of pious platitudes, with no significant understanding achieved between attendees and hosts. The reporter's skepticism was further reinforced by PAS supremo Abdul Hadi Awang's recent venomous pronouncement about the DAP, seemingly contradicting the event's theme of peace and harmony.",
  "summary": "PAS is sending out invitations to a goodwill gathering while the party's supremo is spewing venom at the DAP.",
