Ketua Amanah Melaka nafi PH tutup pintu kerjasama dengan BN

Ketua Amanah Melaka, Ashraf Mukhlis Minghat, affirmed that Pakatan Harapan (PH) will not close the door to collaboration with any party, including Barisan Nasional (BN) and Bersatu, prior to the Melaka PRN. The Chief Coordinator of Amanah's Communication, Khalid Samad, was quoted as having expressed his personal view on collaboration with BN, which was dismissed by Utusan Malaysia.

"As BN is still in the process, we'll wait for the decision since it won't be made at the state level but nationally," Ashraf stated. "Amanah Melaka is open to any party; we have experience working with all parties, so it's not surprising for us to collaborate with any party willing to do so. If they extend a hand, we'll see what their conditions and form of collaboration are.

All these matters have not been discussed yet. At this point, Amanah Melaka is open to collaboration with Bersatu as well. There's no issue," he added.

On Tuesday, Khalid mentioned that PH remains open to collaborating with any party except BN and Perikatan Nasional (PN). In response, Umno's Deputy Chief Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said that BN's door is always open to all parties, including PH. BN, however, has not committed to collaborating with any party for the Melaka PRN, despite the party chairman, Zahid Hamidi, initially stating they would join hands with PN again after PN secured a two-thirds majority in Negeri Sembilan PRN on August 1.

Meanwhile, Bersatu has declared that they will not collaborate with any political party in the Melaka PRN, including PH.
