  "account": "Umno Party leader Mohamad Hasan has warned the party will not be used again for Malay-Islamic political unity efforts. Speaking at the Umno General Women, Youth and Princess Congress 2026 in Kuala Lumpur's World Trade Centre, he stated that Umno has suffered painful experiences in past unity efforts and does not want to repeat them. \"We will not forget that painful experience,\" he said, adding that Umno will not allow itself to be exploited in the future. He did not specify any specific party or detail the experience but emphasized the party's clear approach: \"You uphold your own interests, we will uphold ours too, God willing.\" The Muafakat Nasional, established by Umno and PAS in September 2019, dissolved after PAS formed Perikatan Nasional with Bersatu, while simultaneously refusing to accept Bersatu into Umno. Mohamad made these remarks amid discussions about rekindling political alliances between Barisan Nasional and PAS, as well as their involvement in the PN coalition and the subsequent PRN in Johor and Negeri Sembilan.",
