Malaysia’s Anwar deals with another split with BN in Melaka after Johor poll rout
Malaysia’s unity government faces a split with its federal partner Barisan Nasional (BN) in Melaka after Pakatan Harapan (PH) moved into opposition there, following BN’s recent electoral victory in Johor. The split stems from a constitutional amendment allowing Melaka to appoint unelected assembly members with voting rights, which PH opposed.
