  "account": "Parti Wawasan Negara, also known as Wawasan, is considering contesting the Melaka election under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) logo, according to their president Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin. Hamzah expressed a preference for using the PN logo, but stated they would be open to discussing alternative logos if necessary. The party was informed by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) that their registration had been suspended and subsequently deregistered on October 20. In response, Wawasan promptly took the matter to court, and the High Court granted a stay against the RoS action on October 22, pending the outcome of the judicial review. This ruling allows PN to continue its political activities while the legal challenge is ongoing. PN's election director, Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, welcomed the decision and indicated that the coalition was ready to contest the Melaka polls under the Pas moon logo should the PN logo not be an option.",
