MALACCA POLLS | PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has signalled that cooperation between Perikatan Nasional and BN could extend to the federal level.

Umno vice-president Khaled Nordin, meanwhile, described their electoral pact in Malacca as a possible blueprint for the next general election.

The two leaders made the remarks separately on nomination day for the Malacca state election today, where Umno and PAS are working together under a seat-sharing arrangement despite belonging to different political coalitions.

According to The Star, Hadi (above) said both sides were committed to resolving differences and coordinating their election machinery, with the arrangement expected to continue beyond the state polls.
