BN to weigh PAS contesting under coalition logo as Melaka election talks intensify

KUALA LUMPUR, September 27 — The Barisan Nasional (BN) party is set to deliberate on the possibility of PAS, a coalition member, contesting the forthcoming Melaka state election under the BN's emblem. This decision will be made after consultations with Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusof and other coalition partners, as reported by Harian Metro (HM).

BN chairman Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told journalists, following his address to the 18th annual general assembly of Parti Makkal Sakti Malaysia at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, that BN respects the decision of the constituent parties regarding the logo or symbol they choose to use. The matter of PAS using BN's logo or its own symbol was raised by PN secretary general and PAS secretary general Takiyuddin Hassan, who affirmed that the coalition has not dismissed the idea and PAS has no objection to using its own symbol, should PN's suspension persist.
