  "summary": "Malay Mail reports that Barisan Nasional (BN) is set to discuss the possibility of PAS contesting under the coalition’s logo in the upcoming Melaka state election. BN chairman Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stated that the decision will be made after consultations with Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh and other parties involved. The BN chairman acknowledged that the final decision on the logo or symbol to be used will be made by the respective parties. Meanwhile, PN Secretary General Takiyuddin Hassan, who is also PAS Secretary General, revealed that the coalition has not ruled out using PAS's logo or those of other component parties in Melaka if PN’s suspension remains in effect. PAS has no issue contesting under its own symbol, while the use of component party logos is among the options being considered to maintain cooperation among the parties.",
