ALOR SETAR: Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin says he only proposed cooperating with Pakatan Harapan (PH) to avoid splitting votes when facing Barisan Nasional in the next general election (GE15).

According to the former prime minister, his proposal was in response to those in PN who wanted to avoid such clashes.


“Even the PN Youth chief, who is also PAS Youth chief, had raised the issue at the recent PN convention.

“So my response was that we should do it, if possible,” he said at the PAS muktamar (annual general assembly) here.

However, he said he understood that it was “quite difficult” to have such cooperation in light of PAS’ refusal to work with PH and PH’s own resistance to the idea.

Muhyiddin said he also accepted PAS’ refusal to work with PH, stating that differences of opinion were welcome in the spirit of “openness”.

He also said PN was ready to take on all parties, including PH, in the coming polls.

“Regardless of whether there are three-cornered, four-cornered or 10-cornered fights, we are ready,” he told reporters.


Muhyiddin has been receiving flak from PAS leaders after saying that the coalition was open to the idea of teaming up with other parties, including PH, to face BN in GE15.

The Pagoh MP’s invitation to work together has also been turned down by the likes of DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli.

  1. I believe Mahiaddin needs some cannabis to clear his fogged brain.

    He really sound like a frightened man talking through his nose to shore up his own courage or in this instance, his own delusion.

    Poor thing; he is slowly but surely walking towards the abyss.
