The coalition is prepared to face its opponents in the state election, regardless of whether they choose to cooperate with the ruling Barisan Nasional. Fuziah made these remarks after the opening of the Madani Kita program at Dewan Serbaguna Sungai Isap Damai in Kuantan.\n\nWhen asked about rumors of PH's potential cooperation with Bersatu in the Melaka election, Fuziah clarified that there has been no official decision or announcement regarding this matter.
