- With less than two months until the election, PN's machinery needs to be fully prepared and focus on offering solutions to people's problems rather than political rhetoric.

The Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition must adopt a more organized, disciplined, and effective strategy to secure the full trust of Melaka's voters in the upcoming state election, stated PN Chairman Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
I think no more than two months until the election date. This is a very important time for us to continue working from now on. We have 60 days. Don't see these 60 days as a long period; rather, these 60 days will determine the form of government that will manage Melaka.
With the dissolution of the Melaka State Legislative Assembly expected within two months, Ahmad Samsuri emphasized the critical need for the party's machinery to be fully prepared. "I think no more than two months until the election date. This is a very important time for us to continue working from now on. We have 60 days. Don't see these 60 days as a long period; rather, these 60 days will determine the form of government that will manage Melaka," he remarked during a Pas Melaka charity dinner.
Ahmad Samsuri, who is also a Vice President of Pas, stressed that PN must present itself as a ready-to-govern coalition by fielding capable, integrity-driven candidates who can solve the people's problems. He urged the party's machinery to avoid getting caught up in political rhetoric and instead concentrate on offering tangible solutions. "The people don't just want to hear slogans and political chants. They want to know the solutions we offer to address their problems," he stated.
