  "summary": "BN plans to hold separate talks with two political coalitions next week to discuss potential cooperation for the upcoming Melaka election, according to Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the BN chairman. The meetings will be led by Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki and Melaka BN chairman Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh, along with top leaders of the two coalitions. However, Zahid did not disclose the names of the coalitions, stating that discussions have yet to begin. The purpose of these negotiations is to assess what is harmful, what is reasonable, and ultimately, what benefits the country and BN in the medium and long term.",
