PETALING JAYA: DAP Youth has urged the Pakatan Harapan (PH) leadership to review its alliance with Barisan Nasional (BN) following Negeri Sembilan BN’s withdrawal of support for menteri besar Aminuddin Harun.

The wing said Negeri Sembilan BN’s attempt to form a new state government clearly contradicted the spirit of the unity government.

It added that the alliance with BN, even at the federal level, must be reviewed if there are clear signs that the coalition has a political agenda that would trigger instability.


“DAP Youth condemns all efforts or attempts aimed at forming a ‘backdoor’ government, whether involving political parties or individual (elected representatives).

“This practice damages democracy and builds an unprincipled political culture that prioritises power over the people’s interests,” it said in a statement.

DAP Youth also urged BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to intervene in the Negeri Sembilan political crisis.

Yesterday, Zahid said he would meet the 14 BN assemblymen to be briefed on their decision. The Umno president said the move was decided by the state chapter although he was informed about their plan.

Negeri Sembilan BN later said it had a simple majority to form a new state government, with the backing of Perikatan Nasional’s five assemblymen.

DAP Youth said parties that insist on threatening the unity government’s stability should be given the boot, especially from administrations led by PH.


PH also leads the Penang and Selangor state governments with a BN representative in each executive council.
