KOTA TINGGI: Umno is prepared to discuss Pas' intention to use the Barisan Nasional logo in the upcoming Melaka election.

Umno ready to discuss Pas' use of BN logo in Melaka polls

In Kota Tinggi, Umno's vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin expressed openness to discussions regarding the Pas party's intention to utilize the Barisan Nasional logo during the upcoming Melaka election. Nordin stated that the Umno party was prepared to engage in talks on the matter, but emphasized that any such proposal would need to proceed through established channels. He made this declaration at a press conference following a groundbreaking ceremony for the Kota Tinggi Muslim Orphanage.

Nordin welcomed the proposal from Pas deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, who indicated that the party would be open to using the BN logo if they could not secure the Perikatan Nasional (PN) logo. However, Nordin did not confirm whether other PN component parties, such as Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan), would also seek to incorporate the BN logo. He playfully suggested that not every party would be open to such an arrangement.

Aside from the logo debate, Nordin declined to provide further details on the distribution of seats for the Melaka election, clarifying that he was not directly involved in that specific matter.
