  "account": "Chief Secretary of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) Saifuddin Nasution Ismail stated that the coalition aims to promote respect for differing viewpoints during the PRN Melaka election campaign. He emphasized that winning the elections should be measured by whom people trust, rather than who is the most extreme. Saifuddin described the PRN as a celebration of democracy, while asserting that the coalition will promote respect for differing political views. However, he stressed that PH sets a boundary against hate politics, divisive rhetoric, and any attempts to protect the interests of one group at the expense of others. The PH aims to run a safe campaign. They are confident that the election campaign is not measured by the victory of the party with the most extreme stance. Instead, it is about whom people trust, he said at a media briefing after the PRN Melaka candidate selection process. This statement came as PH entered its fourth election campaign, following the elections in Sabah, Johor, and Negeri Sembilan. In Johor, PH chief Anwar Ibrahim has been campaigning aggressively, repeatedly attacking political rivals and often targeting the Chief Minister Onn Hafiz Ghazi, which has drawn criticism that a serving prime minister should not campaign like an opposition leader. In Negeri Sembilan, PH initially blamed the loss of Umno support for the electoral setback that could lead to PRN, but this message failed to gain attention. PH contested 24 seats in PRN Melaka, with PKR putting up 10 candidates, while DAP and Amanah each contested seven seats. PKR Melaka's senior leader Adam Adli, who also attended the media briefing, rejected claims that PH is trying to undermine the preparations of other parties. He defended the young candidates of the coalition, including young and millennial candidates who faced personal attacks. He hoped that voters, especially young voters, would take the time to evaluate what each candidate offers, especially the young candidates the coalition has put forward for the election, he said.",
