Khaled Nordin: PAS can discuss using BN logo for Melaka polls, but door not open to all Perikatan parties

Kota Tinggi, Oct 3 — Umno vice president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin hinted that the party could permit Perikatan Nasional (PN) parties to utilize the Barisan Nasional (BN) logo for the upcoming Melaka state election, but only under certain conditions. Nordin made this announcement after officiating the groundbreaking ceremony for an Islamic orphanage, stating that only parties considered acceptable would be granted permission to use the BN logo, with PAS being the only party to have expressed interest in this move.

He clarified that no formal decision has been made regarding PAS's use of the BN logo. While welcoming any party that supports the coalition, Nordin emphasized that the decision to allow a party to contest under the BN logo would hinge on several key decisions, comparing the selection process to a homeowner inviting guests into their home.
