  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Umno's Deputy President Mohamad Hasan has stated that Umno is unwilling to be used again for the cause of Malay-Islam political unity and will be more cautious in any future cooperation. He revealed that Umno has had a bitter experience with this cause before and does not want to repeat it. Umno has been used in the past for the politics of Malay-Islam unity, he said during a ceremony to inaugurate the 2026 Umno Women, Youth, and Princess Conference at the World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur. He emphasized that Umno will not allow itself to be exploited again, without naming any specific party or recounting the experience in detail. He explained that this experience has led Umno to adopt a more cautious approach towards any cooperation under the guise of promoting Malay unity. The principles of Umno are clear: self-respect and uncompromising dedication, he concluded.",
