  "account": "Kedah Umno must be ready to take charge independently if the BN-PH alliance does not solidify, according to Mohamad Aswad Mohamed Amin, a Kedah representative. In a statement during a Pemuda session at Umno's Central World Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Aswad emphasized that Umno must build up its strength, the foundation of its roots, and Malays' and Kedah's people's trust in its capabilities. He suggested that any form of cooperation beneficial to the party and the people should be valued, but it is not acceptable if the cooperation only exists in name while its roots move independently. Aswad concluded, \"We do not need to wait for anyone to determine Umno's future in this state. If Umno needs to move independently, we should not be afraid to do so. It's not because we are enemies with anyone. It's not because we reject anyone. But because a party that wants to regain people's trust must first be confident in its own strength.\"",
