  "account": "Barisan Nasional is open to Pas using its logo in the Melaka election if there is cooperation, according to coalition chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The matter has not been formally discussed, but the chairman believes that Pas would feel more comfortable using their own logo, as they did in Johor and Negri Sembilan elections. The BN leader told reporters after opening a seminar in Melaka, stating that there is no problem with Pas using the proposed logo, as it is a matter for their party. Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi had previously expressed openness to using the BN logo in Melaka if cooperation with the coalition is achieved. The issue of which logo Pas could use arises amid the suspension of Perikatan Nasional activities. The Registrar of Societies suspended all PN activities under Section 13(2A) of the Societies Act 1966 on September 23 following a complaint lodged by Bersatu.",
