PETALING JAYA: Umno has welcomed PAS’s willingness to contest the Melaka state election under the Barisan Nasional (BN) logo.
Umno vice-president Khaled Nordin was responding to a proposal by the Islamic party’s deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man aimed at strengthening cooperation between the two parties.
Khaled said any party wishing to contest under the BN logo would have to undergo a screening process and obtain the coalition’s approval, Utusan Malaysia reported.
“If any party is willing to contest under the BN logo, we certainly welcome it. But it must be subject to the necessary considerations and decisions,” he said.
