  "account": "Melaka Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh urged those interested in cooperating with his party, Barisan Nasional (BN), not to rush into it via social media. He explained that such actions would create a negative perception among the public about the political party set to contest the upcoming elections. \"We should not discuss anything on social media. We will issue a formal letter to all parties to determine how they can become the best strategic partner (to BN) and we will discuss this at all levels for our decision,\" he stated. Rauf made these remarks to the press after the National Level Opening Ceremony of National Earth Day 2026, attended by Chief Minister of Indigenous Affairs and Environmental Conservation Arthur Joseph Kurup and Melaka State Senior Minister Salhah Salleh. He mentioned that BN is currently open to discussing with anyone interested in PRN Melaka. \"We do not close our doors completely, and we are not opening them wide for discussion,\" he added. During the last PRN Melaka, BN headed by Rauf formed the state government after winning 21 out of 28 parliamentary seats, while Pakatan Harapan (PH) secured five seats and Perikatan Nasional (PN) two seats. The Melaka parliamentary constituency voting concluded on the 30th of this month.",
  "summary": "Langkah itu hanya menimbulkan persepsi kurang baik rakyat terhadap parti politik yang akan mengambil bahagian pada pilihan raya itu nanti.",
