  "account": "Melaka's Barisan Nasional (BN) party is expecting to secure at least one Chinese-majority seat that is currently held by the Democratic Action Party (DAP) in the upcoming Melaka PRN election. The party's Melaka chief, Ab Rauf Yusoh, expressed optimism that the alliance could win up to three out of the four contested Chinese seats. Although they aspire to win all four seats, the alliance is focusing on a more realistic target of securing two or three seats. Ab Rauf Yusoh, speaking after the joint NGO dinner, stated his confidence that MCA has gained the trust of Melaka's Chinese community.\n\nMCA is contesting in DUN Machap Jaya and Kelebang, areas they have previously contested aside from challenging DAP in Bandar Hilir and Kota Laksamana. In the 2021 PRN, DAP retained Bandar Hilir with a 7,778-vote majority, while Low Chee Leong held onto Kota Laksamana with an 11,494-vote majority. MCA is banking on Jasmine Lok Huey Yee in Bandar Hilir and Melvin Chua Kew Wei in Kota Laksamana. The BN campaign emphasizes the alliance's efforts to convince voters of their continued service and work since the last election two years ago, stating, \"We did not campaign during the voting because we have already done the campaigning election two years ago.\"",
  "summary": "Ab Rauf Yusoh yakin sokongan masyarakat Cina terhadap MCA semakin pulih dan berharap parti itu mampu memenangi dua atau tiga daripada empat kerusi ditandinginya.",
