Tan Sri Annuar Musa, PN's Information Chief, said the coalition would not make "unreasonable" demands in negotiations with Barisan Nasional (BN) over seat allocation for the upcoming Melaka state election.

Market Impact

Annuar stressed that PN, including PAS, would not adopt an extreme approach such as the legendary Puteri Gunung Ledang courtship tale when discussing seat-sharing terms for the polls. "Even in Melaka, we don’t want to ask for things like seven trays of mosquito hearts," he told reporters at the launch of Kelantan City FC's jersey.

According to Annuar, PAS prioritises consensus and unity over seat numbers, dismissing claims that the party is inflexible on allocations. "What matters is fairness and reasonableness," he said.

Negotiations have already begun between joint committees representing four members each from UMNO and PAS, a structure used in previous state polls. Annuar added that PN’s leadership will decide on admitting new parties, noting several pending membership applications are in a "takaruf" (deferred) status rather than rejected.

"Deferment means pending review, not rejection," he said. "We evaluate moderate parties aligned with our principles of Muslim unity over time."
