Election results show voter confidence in Malay-unity pact, says Hadi

The Melaka election results have reflected the confidence of voters in the efforts of Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional to unite Malay-Muslims, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said tonight.

He said the results also reflected voters’ hopes for a just government that would protect the people’s welfare and preserve harmony in society.

He said the party’s priority was to make the most of its electoral victory by pursuing an agenda centred on welfare, integrity and fairness for all.

Speaking after the BN-PN alliance secured a two-thirds majority in the state assembly, Hadi thanked voters for giving the pact the mandate to form the state government. He acknowledged the responsibility that has been entrusted to the two coalitions.

BN won 21 seats in the state election today while PN secured three, including two won by PAS: Bukit Katil and Paya Rumput.
