She emphasized the importance of complying with election laws and regulations set by the Election Commission (EC), respecting differing views, and avoiding provocations involving sensitivities related to religion, race, and the royal institution (3R). Azalina stressed that elections should provide an opportunity for candidates to present and debate their ideas, policies, and public service commitments, not create hostility or deepen divisions among the people.",
