PKR Youth urges PH to reassess ties with BN
Youth chief Kamil Munim accuses Barisan Nasional of failing to show sincerity in their political cooperation
PKR Youth chief Kamil Munim said political manoeuvring can undermine national stability at a time when the country needs a strong government to tackle global challenges.
PETALING JAYA: PKR Youth has called on Pakatan Harapan to reassess its ties with Barisan Nasional, accusing BN of failing to show sincerity in their political cooperation.
PKR Youth chief Kamil Munim said political manoeuvring could undermine national stability at a time when the country needed a strong government to tackle global challenges, reported Utusan Malaysia.
“We do not see the same sincerity from the other side,” said Kamil, who is Anwar Ibrahim’s political secretary in his capacity as finance minister.
“The focus should be on efforts to strengthen our economy, rather than engaging in political manoeuvring to serve the interests of certain groups and people,” he said after attending an event at a school in Padang Rengas, Perak.
Despite cooperating at the federal government level, PH and BN contested against each other in last Saturday’s Johor state election, with BN winning 48 of the 56 seats. PH secured the remaining eight.
BN and Perikatan Nasional, which PAS dominates, are cooperating in the Negeri Sembilan state election. PN has announced candidates for 11 seats in the polls on Aug 1 in constituencies where BN has not fielded candidates.
PAS decided on June 8 to end its electoral cooperation with Bersatu, although both parties remain partners under PN.
Both parties did not campaign for each other in Johor, with PAS instructing its members and supporters to vote for BN in areas where PN was not contesting.
Former Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi claimed yesterday that BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also the deputy prime minister, was positioning himself as a “prime minister-in-waiting” after Umno rekindled ties with PAS.
Puad said Umno and PAS were willing to work together again despite the collapse of their previous Muafakat Nasional pact, as both parties had short-term political goals.
“Zahid wants to be prime minister and PAS wants to return to the federal government,” he said in a Facebook post.
