- The Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition may not feature its logo or flag in the upcoming Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections.

- Bersatu faces an internal membership crisis within PN, making this a potential last resort to protect its rights.
The Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition might be absent from the upcoming state elections in Johor and Negeri Sembilan, with its logo and flag potentially not appearing on the ballot.
This scenario could unfold if Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), a key component of PN, decides to pursue a court injunction. Such a legal move would aim to prohibit any party, including PAS, from utilizing the coalition's name and logo in the elections.
This potential legal action is seen as Bersatu's "last resort" to safeguard its rights within the PN coalition. The party is currently navigating a significant internal membership crisis within PN, which appears to have precipitated this consideration.
The article suggests that the absence of the PN logo could be a consequence of internal disputes and power struggles within the multi-party alliance as it prepares for the state polls.
