Melaka BN a 'beautiful maiden' with many suitors, says Ab Rauf
AYER KEROH: Melaka Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh described the coalition as a ‘beautiful maiden’ now being courted by other political coalitions seeking cooperation ahead of the upcoming state election.
Melaka Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh has described the coalition as a "beautiful maiden" now being sought by other political parties interested in cooperation ahead of the upcoming state election. Several political parties have expressed interest in courting the BN, which makes the coalition highly desirable.
However, Rauf emphasizes that the coalition's decision to marry any party will be based on the best offer, or "dowry," as he sees it. He remains open to discussions with any party, but cautions that negotiations do not guarantee a common political direction for the state. Rauf stresses that any future negotiations must be focused on defending the 21 state seats won by BN in the 15th general election.
Rah's comments come after Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) were reported to be in talks with BN ahead of the Melaka state election, following Rauf's openness to negotiations through the "BN Plus" formula.
