He said preliminary analysis of the Melaka state election held on Saturday had identified encouraging signs and a positive wave, including increased Malay support for PH. But the coalition's current performance was still insufficient to form a government without broader consensus, he said.

Amirudin Shari."There has been some fairly positive growth for PH, particularly an increase in Malay votes. However, it is not enough because this is not merely about coalitions or support for a coalition, but about how political realignment should be considered to form a government," he said.
