The Negeri Sembilan Cooperation Model Can Be Replicated in Melaka

PAS is prepared to discuss extending the cooperation model between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN), successfully implemented in Negeri Sembilan, to the Melaka state election and potentially at the federal level. The deputy president of PAS, Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, indicated that the encouraging results and achievements in Negeri Sembilan provide a strong foundation for these discussions.
Successful Outcomes in Negeri Sembilan

The cooperation between BN and PN in Negeri Sembilan yielded very good results and achievements, particularly in the recent state election. This collaboration allowed the two coalitions to secure enough seats to form the state government by strategically avoiding contests against each other. This approach sent a clear and positive message to voters, demonstrating a united front.
Smooth Machinery Coordination

Beyond the electoral strategy, the cooperation between the BN and PN machinery in Negeri Sembilan proceeded smoothly. This involved mutual support where one coalition did not have a candidate, with each side's machinery working to ensure the other's victory in designated areas. This coordinated effort was crucial for operational success on polling day and beyond.
Readiness for Further Discussions

PAS has expressed readiness to engage in negotiations and discussions at the national level to determine the continuation of this cooperation. Such decisions will be guided by the public mood and the expressed hopes of the people for this alliance to persist. The party views the Negeri Sembilan experience as a transferable model for other states, with Melaka being a prime candidate for its replication.
Preliminary Talks Await Dissolution

While the intention to explore this model in Melaka exists, preliminary talks with Umno have not yet commenced. This is due to the fact that the Melaka state assembly has not been dissolved. Discussions and concrete steps towards implementing a similar model in Melaka will be contingent upon the official dissolution of the state assembly.
