  "account": "Pengesek Pengerusi Barisan Nasional Mohamad Hasan was allegedly prevented from entering the candidate registration center for the Lendu DUN constituency in Alor Gajeh, Malacca, following allegations of exceeding the individual quota. Reported by Utusan Malaysia, Mohamad had expressed a desire to support BN candidate Abu Hakim Abdul Wahid for the PRN Melaka process. However, SPR officials barred him from entering, leading to a dispute over his eligibility. A hidden witness revealed that Mohamad questioned their refusal, asking why he was not permitted entry while he had a valid SPR pass. He further inquired about the purpose of the pass if he was still denied entry into the candidate registration center. The official then explained that his presence was deemed to exceed the individual quota allowed for entry. According to the nomination process rules, only candidates, petitioners, and supporters are permitted inside such centers. The situation was resolved when Mohamad decided to leave the site. Candidate registration for the Lendu DUN constituency proceeded as usual, with Abu Hakim facing opposition from BN candidate Nazri Ramli in a one-on-one showdown.",
