  "account": "Agung Putra Haji Abdul Samad, the Chief Secretary of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) party, stated that the coalition aims to promote respect for differing viewpoints during the PRN Melaka election campaign. HANG TUAH JAYA: PH will conduct the campaign with an emphasis on trust, rather than measuring victory by who is the most formidable. Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, PH's Deputy Chief Secretary, characterized the PRN as a celebration of democracy, while noting the coalition will promote respect for viewpoints in politics. However, he emphasized PH's stance against hate politics, divisive rhetoric, and attempts to protect the interests of one group at the expense of others. PH aims to hold a safe campaign. He expressed confidence that the election campaign will not be measured by the victory of whoever is the most formidable. The statement came during a media briefing after the PH selection of candidates for the PRN Melaka. The comment was made as PH enters its fourth PRN campaign since the recent elections in Sabah, Johor, and Negeri Sembilan. In Johor, PH leader Anwar Ibrahim campaigned aggressively, repeatedly attacking rival politicians and often targeting Johor Chief Minister Onn Hafiz Ghazi, which drew criticism that a premier should not campaign like a challenger. In Negeri Sembilan, PH initially blamed the withdrawal of Umno support for the state government, which led to the PRN, but the message failed to gain traction. PH contested 24 seats in Melaka PRN, with PKR fielding 10 candidates, while DAP and Amanah each contested seven seats. PKR Melaka chief Adam Adli, who also attended the media briefing, rejected allegations that PH is trying to disrupt the preparation of other parties' campaigns. He also defended the coalition's young candidates, including those from the Gen Z and Millennial generations who faced personal attacks. \"We view this as a very unproductive attitude, especially when we are trying to build, nurture trust, and give opportunities to young people to lead our society,\" he said. He hoped that voters, especially young voters, would take the time to assess what is offered, particularly by the young candidates PH has shortlisted for the election.",
