  "account": "PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has advised PKR against issuing an ultimatum to Umno regarding their position in the unity government or switching support to Perikatan Nasional (PN). Tuan Ibrahim stated that PKR should consider its current parliamentary and state seat count in comparison to Umno before issuing such warning-like statements to their partner in government. He emphasized that PKR relies on Umno's strength and that both parties should respect each other's positions within the non-coalition relationship. Tuan Ibrahim also commented on PKR Youth deputy chief Nabil Halimi's ultimatum to Umno, suggesting they either fully commit to the Madani government or step down and support PN. He argued that such a demand was disrespectful and questioned the logic behind it, given Umno's greater number of seats. Lastly, Tuan Ibrahim supported the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) decision to suspend the requirement for accused individuals to wear their distinctive orange attire during court proceedings, arguing that it would prevent the perception of guilt being imposed on someone who has only been accused.",
  "summary": "The PAS No 2 says PKR should be mindful of its position and the number of parliamentary and state seats it holds compared with Umno before issuing such statements.",
