Anwar pledges continued cooperation with Melaka govt

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, in congratulating Barisan Nasional on its win in the Melaka state election, said the federal government will keep working with the state government in the interest of the people.

“Now is the time for us to move forward by putting the people’s interests first, and the federal government will continue to strengthen cooperation with the Melaka state government to drive development and ensure the well-being of all the people,” he said in a Facebook post.

Anwar, who is Pakatan Harapan chairman, thanked voters for exercising their democratic right. He also thanked PH campaign workers and candidates for their hard work.

BN and Perikatan Nasional have won 24 of the 28 seats in today’s election. PH won just four of the 24 seats it contested, defending DAP’s four strongholds while losing its only other incumbent seat, Bukit Katil, to PAS.
