  "account": "Hadi Awang, president of the Islamist opposition party Pas, expressed his hope that the cooperation between the Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) parties would continue beyond the recent Melaka state elections. In a press conference following the grand finale rally for the elections, Hadi stated that the BN-PN cooperation in Melaka had shown more progress than in previous elections in Negri Sembilan and Johor. The improved cooperation is a positive step towards Muslim unity, which Hadi emphasized should be based on justice for all communities, with Malays and Muslims playing leading roles. He clarified that the cooperation was not about Malay supremacy but about ensuring justice for everyone. Hadi reiterated that the BN-PN cooperation will become even stronger for the general election, and he called on Muslims not to allow internal divisions to benefit others, using the analogy of a pestle and mortar clashing.",
  "summary": "MELAKA: The cooperation between Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional is being strengthened as part of efforts to rebuild unity among Muslims in Malaysia, Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang said.",
