Melaka Perikatan willing to talk to Umno to avoid three-cornered fights in polls - superadmin - 10-05-2021 MELAKA, Oct 5 — The Melaka Perikatan Nasional (PN) is ready to hold talks with state Umno, to avoid three-cornered fights in the upcoming state election. Its chairman, Datuk Mohd Rafiq Naizamohideen, said that Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), together with PAS and Gerakan, had made a stand that there would be no clashes in seizing the state seats. “We are open if Melaka Umno wants to negotiate with state PN to avoid three-corner fights. If Umno is ready then we will think the next course of action. “As long as we have yet to know Umno’s decision, we will not go into detail, and that it (distribution of seats) is too far off. We are waiting for Umno to make a decision,” he said at a press conference in Ayer Keroh here today. Also present were state PAS commissioner, Datuk Kamaruddin Sidek, and state Gerakan chairman, Datuk Seri Michael Gan Peng Lam. Meanwhile, Mohd Rafiq, who is also the state Bersatu leadership body chief, said that the membership of Bersatu assemblyman Datuk Noor Effandi Ahmad was automatically revoked following his actions in withdrawing support for the state government led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali. - More -
