  "account": "PAS election director Sanusi Nor has criticized DAP's decision to have only their secretary-general, Loke Siew Fook, resign from the Cabinet in response to former Prime Minister Najib Razak's conditional pardon. Describing it as \"firecracker politics,\" Sanusi noted that DAP frequently flips-flops on its political decisions. He pointed out that DAP's secretary-general Nga Kor Ming had previously announced his resignation, but ultimately did not. Sanusi stated that DAP acts as if they are going to take action, but nothing gets done. The Kedah menteri besar further explained that DAP plays flip-flop politics, finding excuses not to resign. After a DAP central executive committee meeting, Loke, who is the transport minister, announced his resignation from the Cabinet. He described it as a \"responsible\" move and said DAP would remain in the government. Najib Razak was granted a conditional pardon by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, allowing him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence in house arrest until August 23, 2028, subject to payment of his RM50 million fine and other conditions.",
