  "account": "In Melaka, Umno has expressed willingness to allow PAS to use the Barisan Nasional (BN) logo for the PRN Melaka, as stated by Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, in an effort to foster cooperation. However, Umno President Khaled Nordin emphasized that this openness does not extend to all parties. According to him, any party seeking to compete using the BN logo would need to go through a screening process and be subject to the party's decision. \"If any party is willing to compete using the BN logo, we are very supportive,\" he stated. However, Khaled did not confirm whether the openness would also be extended to other PN members such as Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan). He said, \"Only those who wish to join our house are welcome. Not everyone.\" Yesterday, Tuan Ibrahim mentioned that consultations with Umno for PRN Melaka have reached around 90%, before being handed over to individual party leaders for final approval. PAS also announced its readiness to use the BN logo if it could help secure cooperation, as reported by PAS President Hadi Awang earlier. Earlier, there were speculations that some PN component parties might need to compete under a different logo if their activities remain under the scrutiny of Malaysia's Corporate Societies Registration Department (JPPM). JPPM has been holding off decision on PN's activities since 23rd September following objections from Bersatu and allegations that the merger needed to answer questions raised by the agency involved. Apart from PAS and Wawasan, PN also includes Pejuang, MIPP and Gerakan. The situation for Bersatu remained uncertain after its ties with PAS severed and it chose to contest PRN Negeri Sembilan under its own logo.",
