‘Mulai malam ini jangan alergik dengan hijau’, kata Zahid

BN Chief Zahid Hamidi urged supporters not to remain allergic to PAS, clearly indicating a willingness for cooperation between both parties in the PRN Melaka. He emphasized that the days of mutual dislike between the blue BN and green PAS are over and urged for a change of mindset. "Now we have a new friend. We used to be allergic to green and green used to be allergic to blue.

From now on, don't be allergic," he said during the BN's election color launch and calibre announcement at the Multi-Purpose Trade Centre Melaka (MITC). Zahid noted that this cooperation is not just about securing polling booths but also translating into ground-level support from each faction when their supporters back their allies in contested areas.

"Where we are competing, Allah willing, their voters will vote and cast their ballots. The same goes (in reverse)," he added. The unity between both parties needs to be built by acknowledging the shifting political landscape, he said. "Insha-Allah if this unity can be maintained, our road to Putrajaya will shine brighter due to this new political dynamics," he said.

Zahid further stated that unity has been achieved in Melaka with PAS and his associates and hopes it unites other political allies involved in the cooperation. However, he stressed that this understanding does not mean BN or its allies need to compromise on their respective battle grounds. "Unity isn't a permit to gain the battle.

We know our battle grounds. We don't compromise the ground, we build together with our allies," he said.
