  • DAP leader Nga Kor Ming is free to campaign in Negeri Sembilan, unlike PN leader Sanusi who was asked to focus on Kedah.
  • PH Communications Director Fahmi Fadzil criticized the use of narrow racial and hate politics in election campaigns.
  • PH urged all parties to campaign maturely, with facts, policies, and solutions, not hate, to preserve Negeri Sembilan's harmony.

Nga Kor Ming, deputy chairman of DAP, remains free to campaign in the Negeri Sembilan state election, according to Pakatan Harapan (PH) Communications Director Fahmi Fadzil. Fadzil contrasted Nga's situation with that of Perikatan Nasional (PN) election director Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, who was asked to focus on his responsibilities in Kedah and refrain from campaigning in Negeri Sembilan.

Sanusi had previously stated during a rally that Malays only have Tanah Melayu (Malay land) as their homeland. Fadzil expressed disappointment that election campaigns are still marred by narrow sentiments and racism, calling it an agenda of certain politicians. He argued that hate politics and incitement do not create jobs, lower prices, or promise affordable housing.

PH is calling for all political parties to respect election laws and ensure campaigns are mature, prudent, and fact-based. "Compete with policies, compete with records, compete with solutions. Do not compete with hate," Fadzil urged. He emphasized that Negeri Sembilan is known for its peace and harmony, and warned against damaging the long-built unity for political gain.

Regarding the presence of influencers like Caprice during the campaign, Fadzil clarified that Caprice is not an official representative of PH in the state. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) has not yet received any complaints about Sanusi's remarks, Fadzil also confirmed.
