BN-PN must stay united beyond Melaka polls, says Permatang Pauh MP

Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional leaders in Penang must maintain unity beyond the upcoming Melaka elections, according to Permatang Pauh MP Muhammad Fawwaz Mohamad Jan. Speaking at a BN operations room rally, Jan emphasized the importance of setting aside internal differences and dissatisfaction to bolster cooperation and enhance their chances of victory.

Both coalitions must prioritize unity over individual party interests, he stressed, adding that any boycotts or refusal to assist candidates from the opposing coalition would weaken their collective efforts.

Fawwaz reiterated that differences in opinion and dissatisfaction with candidates from other parties are natural, but should be put aside to achieve a greater goal. He urged both coalitions to strengthen their cooperation not just for the Melaka election, but also in preparation for future polls, including the general election. He cautioned against complacency and overconfidence, urging the party machinery to maintain full commitment during the campaign period.

Regarding the Merlimau state seat candidate, Dr Akmal Saleh, Jan praised him for his active social media presence and community service, expressing confidence in his leadership and the community's ability to discern valuable contributions from less so.
