(Illustration by Bernama) PERTHENGKATAN JAYA: Bersatu aims to field the by-election with other parties, and talks with other parties are ongoing at the national and state levels, according to his spokesperson. With the PRN slated to be held within 60 days of the dissolution of the Melaka DUN on September 23rd last year, Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz announced that Bersatu will not contest the by-election on its own in Melaka. As stated by Bersatu's president (Muhyiddin Yassin), the party will stand with other parties or existing coalition parties. At present, discussions are still underway in states and at the central level, including in Melaka, he told Berita Harian. No deadline has been set for the cooperation talks, he added. On September 19th last year, Muhyiddin confirmed that Bersatu had held meetings with several political parties to discuss forming a new political alliance for the upcoming PRU16. This announcement comes following the end of Bersatu's collaboration with PAS since June.",
