P Punithan says MIPP is weighing offers from other coalitions as well
MIPP president P Punithan said the party will decide its political future after a central committee meeting on Sunday.
PETALING JAYA: PAS has asked the Malaysian Indian People’s Party (MIPP) to remain in Perikatan Nasional (PN), said party president P Punithan after a nearly two-hour meeting today.
Punithan said the meeting, attended by PN chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar among others, discussed the coalition’s direction in the wake of PAS’s decision to end political cooperation with Bersatu.
“The meeting was positive. We discussed PN’s direction and ways to strengthen the coalition,” he told FMT.
Punithan said MIPP also informed PAS that it had received offers from outside the coalition but was urged to remain in PN.
“We have told them we will make a decision on Sunday after meeting with our central committee and they agreed.”
PAS, Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional have all made overtures to MIPP amid the turmoil following the PAS-Bersatu split.
PN information chief Annuar Musa had previously said that component parties would meet this week to discuss the coalition’s direction.
He said PAS remained committed to multiracial political cooperation and welcomed the continued roles of MIPP and Gerakan within PN.
Gerakan has reaffirmed its commitment to PN, saying it will continue to play a constructive role in strengthening the coalition.
