  "account": "PAS Youth chief Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden attended the Umno Youth general assembly, showing unity between the two parties. This visit came after Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh visited the PAS Youth muktamar the previous week. Afnan, dressed in a white baju Melayu with a green sampin featuring the PAS logo, stated that PAS Youth attended the Umno Youth assembly in response to the invitation from Umno. He emphasized the importance of unity among Muslims, stating that such unity should be more than just empty words, but rather a genuine expression of solidarity. During Dr Akmal's visit to the PAS Youth muktamar on September 3, Afnan acknowledged the presence of the Umno Youth delegation in his speech. The exchange between the youth wings of PAS and Umno is taking place amidst growing concerns about the state of their relationship.",
