  "account": "Kota Baru: PN clarified that its suspension did not impact talks with the BN coalition for the Melaka election. PN Secretary-General Takiyuddin Hassan stated that negotiations between the two parties were ongoing, having progressed beyond the 50 per cent mark. However, the allocation of seats remained undetermined, with discussions continuing. Takiyuddin emphasized that the suspension of PN activities did not hinder negotiations, which remained positive and optimistic. He expressed confidence in implementing the Muslim unity agenda in Melaka. This came after the Registrar of Societies suspended all PN activities under the Societies Act 1966 following a complaint by Bersatu. Takiyuddin noted that PN intended to respond to the Registrar within two weeks and had requested a meeting with the Director-General of the Registrar. Melaka Chief Minister and BN chairman Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh mentioned that BN would commence negotiations with other parties for the state election after obtaining approval from Umno and BN leadership.",
