  "account": "Melaka: Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) disagrees with DAP on political cooperation for the upcoming state election, advocating for the formation of a stable government through alliances with sincere partners. Amanah secretary-general Muhammad Faiz Fadzil emphasized the importance of sincerity among coalition partners, stating that it serves as the foundation for a stable government. He drew a parallel to Negri Sembilan, where the lack of sincerity led to chaos following a blue wave victory. This statement came after Amanah's attendance at the AgroMADANI Sales Programme and an engagement session with fishermen at Tanjung Nibong Fishermen's Complex in Telok Mas. Amanah's stance contrasts with DAP's chairman Khoo Poay Tiong, who announced that the People's Justice Party (PH) in Melaka would contest the election independently and without cooperation from Bersatu or outside parties. However, Melaka PH chairman Adly Zahari indicated that negotiations with various parties, including the possibility of a PH Plus collaboration, remained open pending a decision by the PH Presidential Council. Amanah remains open to discussing potential allies for the Melaka state election but has not disclosed the identity of these partners, stating that a decision will be announced soon.",
