TANGGA BATU: Barisan Nasional (BN) is ready to bring Perikatan Nasional (PN) into the Melaka government if the two coalitions win the state election.

BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said cooperation between the two coalitions should continue beyond the election, including through the formation of a joint state government.

"After Nov 14, as BN chairman, if BN and PN are blessed with victory, God willing, the Melaka government will also involve PN in its formation.

"Let us put aside our past differences. We should not stop at Melaka because we have a much bigger task ahead of us.
