  "account": "The deputy president of Bersatu, Ahmad Faizal Azumu, has acknowledged that his party needs to form a coalition in order to compete effectively in the upcoming PRN Melaka elections. He believes that a coalition is essential, as the current strength of the individual factions is insufficient to allow them to operate independently. In an interview with Utusan Malaysia, Azumu stated, \"Generally, we need a coalition. Without a coalition, it becomes difficult for us to move forward on our own.\" He added that the strength of the various factions within Melaka itself is not yet sufficient to allow them to operate independently. However, Faizal Azumu declined to specify whether the coalition would be with PN or not, saying, \"It feels like PN is forgetting us. We are good people, we do not forget people.\" Regarding the use of the flower emblem for the PRN, Azumu mentioned that the decision has not been finalized by the party leadership yet. \"There is no decision from the party leadership yet. We will set it later. For now, we are still evaluating the strength in all regions, and I myself have conducted an audit or survey of all districts throughout Melaka.\"",
