  "summary": "Pakatan Harapan (PH) Chairman Chow Kon Yeow has clarified that the call made by DAP advisor Lim Guan Eng for the Penang government to close the door to UMNO is a personal view rather than the official stance of the DAP. Chow stressed that any decision regarding UMNO's position within the PH-led state government must be determined at the highest level of the PH leadership, including the PH Presidential Council. So far, no official directive has been issued, and the Secretary-General has requested PH leader Anwar Ibrahim to convene a Pakatan Harapan meeting to discuss UMNO's position.",
