The RoS suspended all PN activities on September 23, following a complaint from Bersatu. Takiyuddin confirmed that the unity of the Malay-Muslim community, known as \"penyatuan ummah,\" is crucial, and has been accepted by most Malaysians, including non-Malays, as it creates stability. BN negotiations are ongoing and not yet finalized, but have passed the 50% mark. Takiyuddin also denied PN has been allocated seven seats for the election, stating that it remains under negotiation.",
