KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 11 — Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition government has failed to bring about the political stability that it had hoped for as he rejected Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin’s suggestion for a formal charter spanning PN, Barisan Nasional and Gabungan Parti Sarawak to jointly contest the next general election.
Reminding PN that the formation of the ruling government was only made possible through the cooperation between MPs who did not reflect the people’s choice, Mohamed Khaled said there was no need for the formation of a formal political charter spanning several coalitions as that merely demonstrates a survival strategy to obtain support from the largest political parties, rather than support from the masses.
“What guarantees that this ‘coalition over coalition’ will bring about the political stability that Malaysia needs?
“Malaysia needs a strong government with a real mandate without any further delay. Something that does not lead to such a goal is questionable and unnecessary,” he said in a statement here.
