Pakatan Harapan will not be cooperating with Barisan Nasional in the forthcoming Melaka state election, a senior party official said on Thursday. Khalid, communications director for Amanah, stated that the coalition is willing to explore alliances with any political party except BN and Perikatan Nasional (PN). The statement marks a clear demarcation of political lines ahead of the state polls, signalling that PH intends to contest either alone or in partnership with smaller political entities. This development underscores the fractious nature of Malaysian politics, where state-level elections often see shifting coalitions and realignments among the major political blocs. The exclusion of both BN and PN from PH's potential partnerships reflects the deep ideological and political divisions that have characterized Malaysian politics in recent years.
