  "account": "Onn Hafiz Ghazi, the Johor State Chief Minister, defended his stance on the Pakatan Harapan (PH) allegations by stating that they were merely wasting time and money. He added that the statement was made based on the information, feedback, and personal observations gathered during the candidate nomination day, which showed that the people of Melaka accepted both the collaboration between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN).\n\nOnn Hafiz claimed that his recent statements regarding the matter were based on the information he had received, the feedback he had gathered, and what he had personally witnessed during the candidate nomination process. He expressed that the people of Melaka, in general, accept the combined efforts of BN and PN. He concluded by saying that the wave of support was strong and would be reflected on November 14, during a press conference after assisting the BN candidate campaign in Merlimau, Dr Akmal Saleh.\n\nOnn Hafiz also mentioned that he had faced attacks during the PRN Johor campaign, being labeled as a baby, a fool, and someone lacking intelligence. Despite being criticized, he maintained that his statements during the campaign in Johor were not meant to boast, according to him. Earlier, the Deputy Secretary-General of PKR, Saifuddin Shafi Muhammad, had characterized Onn Hafiz as weak, displaying a stubborn attitude in politics. He suggested that Onn Hafiz should understand the principle of democracy considering his position as the Chief Minister of Johor, which was attained through the mandate of the voters.",
