MELAKA: Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhammad Akmal Saleh has welcomed Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang's statement expressing readiness to use the Barisan Nasional symbol in the Melaka election if cooperation is finalised.
He said the development was seen as an effort that could open wider avenues towards strengthening cooperation and Muslim unity ahead of the Melaka state polls.
"Alhamdulillah, we welcome this proposal and effort.
"They can try to block us using whatever power they have, but Allah responds with something far better," he said in a statement posted on his social media today.
Akmal, who is also Jasin Umno division chief, expressed hope that the development would catalyse and solidify unity among Muslims, particularly for the Melaka election.
