  "account": "Presiden Umno, Zahid Hamidi, reiterated the call for PRU16 as he is confident that under the blue wave, the party will be able to secure a new mandate to form the government. In his opening remarks, Zahid also referred to certain parties with the phrase \"enough already,\" and stated that \"for the sake of our chances.\" He emphasized that the wave brought by Umno is not merely to make the party a supporting pillar of the government, but rather to regain the mandate to lead the nation. Zahid noted that the political landscape for Malaysians is now much more turbulent due to the unfaithfulness of the voters, which can no longer be taken for granted. He pointed out that the younger generation is no longer bound by the old political nostalgia, and therefore, they cannot use a one-size-fits-all formula for all fields. Zahid pointed out that the differences in results in Sabah, Johor, and Negeri Sembilan provide valuable lessons for the party leading up to PRU16. He stated that the eight years since Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) lost power in 2018 should be a period for the party to introspect and understand the changing political landscape. Zahid argued that the decline in actual support has been evident since 2008, when BN lost a two-thirds majority, and continued to dwindle in 2013. \"However, a party that wishes to rise cannot simply indulge in nostalgia and blame others. We must realize that the downfall does not begin when we lose, but rather when we become overly confident that we won't lose.\"",
