Speaking after attending the forum \"Reality and Perception: Don’t Politicise Tabung Haji\", Takiyuddin emphasized that uniting Malay-Muslim political factions is a key focus for the party assembly. \"One of the motions that will certainly be discussed is Muslim unity, as well as political cooperation between PAS and Umno. That will be one of the motions that must be tabled,\" he informed reporters. This follows confirmation on Sunday that Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi accepted an invitation and will send a delegation to the muktamar. Regarding state-level electoral strategies, Takiyuddin revealed ongoing negotiations between Perikatan Nasional and Barisan Nasional for a pact in the upcoming Melaka state election, with initial discussions showing promise. \"We have started negotiations but have yet to reach a final decision. We are still discussing the method and form of cooperation that will be implemented. However, the negotiations so far have been very positive. I can say that they are very positive,\" he stated.",
