  "account": "Ketua Penerangan PAS Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz has warned that the PRN Melaka consultation would be considered unilateral and an infringement of the Perlembagaan Perikatan Nasional (PN) if the discussion does not involve Bersatu. PAS views itself as being excluded from PN if the Melaka PRN consultation proceeds without Bersatu, according to Tun Faisal. He stated that Bersatu remains a component party of PN, as stipulated in Section 7 of the PN Constitution, and has the right to participate as a constituent party. Previously, in Negeri Sembilan, PAS bypassed Bersatu and did not invite them to join the PN Representatives and Senior Officials Conference (MT) using weak and baseless excuses, citing the PN and Bersatu Constitutions. Tun Faisal also mentioned that PAS acted ahead of the Registrar of Associations Department (JPPM) in the process. The Deputy Chairman of PN, Takiyuddin Hassan, said on Monday that the federation would hold consultations with Barisan Nasional (BN) regarding the Melaka PRN without involving Bersatu. He stated that the consultations had not yet begun, but in principle, PN and BN agreed to begin discussions in the near future. Tun Faisal claimed that developments indicated the outcome of PN now depended on the party holding power within the federation. He argued that PN regulations and decisions made by the MT could be overridden by PN's administrative center, the \"PN Administrators' Office.\" On August 7, PAS President Hadi Awang reportedly claimed that Bersatu had automatically been expelled from PN after the party announced the formation of a new coalition. However, PN Chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar clarified on Sunday that Bersatu was still a component of the federation.",
