Bersatu-PAS tensions simmer as Muhyiddin eyes Melaka clean sweep

Tensions between Bersatu-PAS within Perikatan Nasional (PN) have been reported to be simmering ahead of the Melaka state election, scheduled for November 14. The current discord, which has yet to be resolved, led to Bersatu, headed by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, contesting the election under its own logo. Muhyiddin acknowledged that some voters were still confused about the distinction between Bersatu and PN, prompting him to instruct party leaders to clarify Bersatu's position during the campaign.

Despite the internal tensions, Muhyiddin expressed confidence that Bersatu could win all seven seats it is contesting, citing a positive response from voters in the constituencies he had visited.
