  "account": "Kedah Umno leader Mohamad Aswad Mohamed Amin has called for his party to be prepared to stand on its own in the 2016 General Election (PRU16) if cooperation between the BN-PH coalition proves weak in the state. In an address to a Pemuda Division session at the Umno Central World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Amin stated that Umno must rebuild its strength, confidence at the grassroots level, and the trust of the Malay people and the people of Kedah in its capabilities. While Amin acknowledged that any form of cooperation beneficial to the party and the people should be welcomed, he argued that it should not be limited to mere name recognition if the collaboration is not deeply rooted at the grassroots level. He emphasized that Umno should not wait for anyone to determine its future in the state, and if it has to move on its own, it should not be afraid to do so. Amin clarified that this is not due to any animosity or rejection towards any party, but rather because a party that wishes to regain the trust of the people must first prove its strength.",
