MELAKA: Barisan Nasional deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan is confident that support for the coalition among non-Malay voters in the state election will increase compared with the previous two state elections.

He said his confidence was based on the positive trend in support for BN and Perikatan Nasional during their election campaigns in other states.

"If we look at the trend in support from Johor to Negri Sembilan, it has shown a clear improvement and has been very encouraging.

"However, I want to reiterate that the campaign machinery must work hard to reach out to voters and convince them to support BN and PN candidates.
