  "account": "PAS is seeking the federal territories portfolio if Perikatan Nasional secures power following the upcoming general election (GE16), according to Abdul Rani Daud, who represents the federal territories. Speaking at the party's 72nd muktamar, Daud emphasized that this portfolio should be a top priority for PAS, as it addresses crucial urban socioeconomic matters. He asserted that a PAS-led federal territories department would effectively tackle issues such as housing, poverty, public housing projects (PPR), street vendors, urban development, and overall well-being of the populace. Currently, the federal territories department is managed by Hannah Yeoh, a DAP MP from Segambut. Daud also advocated for PAS to assume the PN chairmanship, currently in the hands of Bersatu's Radzi Jidin, to enhance coordination and election strategies across the federal territories. This proposal is not merely about position, but about the party's commitment to ensure PN's triumph in the nation's capital.",
  "summary": "Federal territories delegate Abdul Rani Daud says the party should lead the department and prove how it can solve pressing issues.",
