NS dispute leaves Melaka PAS-Umno pact intact, says analyst

The royal and customary crisis in Negeri Sembilan has had no impact on PAS's efforts to collaborate with Umno in the Melaka state election on November 14, according to an analyst. Mazlan Ali, from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, stated that PAS remains committed to working with Umno and using the BN logo in the election. Voter opinions on the crisis are divided, with urban and rural voters, as well as undecided voters, holding different perspectives.

PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang confirmed that an agreement in principle had been reached to cooperate with BN for the election, though seat allocation and candidate selection are still under discussion.
