An alleged 'no bin' policy by the previous Umno-Bersatu Malacca government, where individuals whose names do not contain "bin" will not receive approval for whatever they apply for is a loss to the state, former chief minister Adly Zahari said.

Claims of a "no bin" policy first emerged in a leaked recording, purportedly between incumbent Sungai Udang assemblyperson Idris Haron and Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, where Idris sought to justify his decision to move against the Umno-Bersatu government.
