PN-BN Negeri Sembilan Pact Plans New PBN Label

Hamzah Zainudin, president of Parti Wawasan Negara, has pushed naming the BN-PN electoral cooperation in Negeri Sembilan as “Perikatan Barisan Nasional” or the shorthand “PBN” to reduce voter confusion, stressing that the label matters less than their shared goal of forming the next state government. He also said BN would lead the state government if the pact wins and that past differences have been set aside to focus on campaigning and explaining their plans to voters ahead of the August 1 election.

Kelantan police have rolled out a new anti-drug strategy requiring every Officer-in-Charge of a Police Station to make at least one drug-related arrest per day from July 15, with higher divisions targeting suppliers and larger networks; the plan will be reviewed after three months and may invite disciplinary action for noncompliance as arrests previously declined. The initiative follows a year-to-date drop in drug cases and arrests, and comes alongside a separate note that online scam losses surged, underscoring broader crime dynamics in the state.
