  "account": "In a recent development, Umno President Zahid Hamidi has instructed Pemuda, Wanita and Puteri members to collaborate in organizing a massive joint rally with PAS, according to a report from Kuala Lumpur. The directive came after the PAS deputy to the Umno General Assembly proposed the event on Saturday, as part of efforts to foster political cooperation between the two parties. The proposal was met with approval from Umno representatives upon its mention by Zahid. He stated that the rally aims to gather up to a million Muslim individuals. Zahid directed Dr Akmal Saleh, the Umno Deputy President, to initiate the process at the state level before scaling it up to the national level. In a speech at the Umno General Assembly 2026 in Kuala Lumpur's World Trade Centre, Zahid urged Umno's youth, women, and Puteri members to cooperate with PAS in achieving this goal. The youth, women, and Puteri wing was also asked by Zahid to collaborate in executing the rally. On Saturday, Akmal had announced that his faction was prepared to welcome the call from Pemuda PAS for the Mega Unity Gathering of the Ummah. Akmal clarified that the rally should not merely collect supporters but serve as a platform for both parties to discuss issues concerning the youth and the nation.",
