Muhyiddin hints PN to remain as opposition, congratulates Anwar as PM
His remarks on playing a check and balance role, however, appear out of sync with PN component PAS, which said earlier today that the party will discuss Anwar’s offer to join his unity government with other PN coalition members.
(The Vibes) – Coalition will play check and balance role in Parliament, he says
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has hinted that his coalition Perikatan Nasional (PN) will remain as the opposition and is not likely to be part of the unity government led by Pakatan Harapan (PH).
This is after he affirmed that PN will play a check and balance role in Parliament in its bid to voice the people’s concerns, in line with the principle of parliamentary democracy.
“Moving forward, PN will continue its struggle for the sake of the people’s welfare and the country’s wellbeing,” he said in brief statement today.
Muhyiddin also congratulated PH chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim over his appointment by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as Malaysia’s 10th prime minister.
His remarks on playing a check and balance role, however, appear out of sync with PN component PAS, which said earlier today that the party will discuss Anwar’s offer to join his unity government with other PN coalition members.
PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, in a statement, had also said that his party will survey the public’s and its voters’ views to gather their readiness for such cooperation.
