  "account": "Dewan Himpunan Pendukung PAS (DHPP) Melaka head Tony Khoo claims that non-Muslims are welcoming PAS's joint program with Perikatan Nasional (PN) leader. Tony Khoo told FMT that non-Malay voters are becoming more discerning about political parties, and PAS is gradually being accepted as a principled and corruption-free party. DHPP frequently approaches non-Malay voters, exemplified by the recent receiving of a welcoming response to their new moon cake distribution. Tony asserts that more Malay voters are becoming knowledgeable about political parties, and PAS is viewed as a party with principles and integrity. He further emphasizes that PAS needs to be more aggressive in explaining its party principles to non-Muslim society.\n\nFor the analysts, the PAS symbol is not a major issue; it is merely an identity. The core and governance system are more important to convey to non-Malay voters, he said. While analysts view PAS's symbol as the most practical choice for use by PN component parties in the Melaka PRN, it may appear extreme in non-traditional PAS strongholds, according to Mazlan Ali from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Analysts also noted the aspiration of Gerakan Dominic Lau's President for all PN component parties to use a single symbol in the Melaka PRN if the mixed union continues to prevail through the Joint Registration Board of Malaysia (JPPM).",
