KUALA LUMPUR – A grand coalition of non-Barisan Nasional (BN) parties led by Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is the best option to move the nation beyond the current political deadlock, Bersatu youth chief Senator Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal has said.

He said a pact between the Bersatu-led Perikatan Nasional (PN), opposition front Pakatan Harapan (PH) and other regional groupings like Gabungan Parti Sarawak would chart a new political future for the nation, though it can only be sustainable if it is led by a moderate Malay leader such as Muhyiddin.

Wan Fayhsal said it is vital for such a pact to give Bersatu the right to lead the government if it wins the coming national polls, as the majority of Bumiputeras – who account for over 60% of Malaysia’s 32 million population – are more likely to accept a party that embraces identity politics.

Bersatu is desperate and needs to replace Muhyiddin, says analyst

[Image: Muhyiddin-Yassin-serious-bernama.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: An analyst has described Bersatu as being in a “very desperate” situation and in need of someone to take over its leadership from Muhyiddin Yassin.

Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara said the outlook for Bersatu, and even Perikatan Nasional, looked gloomy, especially after the failure of attempts to forge some form of cooperation with Pejuang and Pakatan Harapan.

He said it puzzled him that Bersatu would even approach its former comrades considering the “bad blood” it had with the opposition parties following the Sheraton Move in 2020.

“After being rejected by Pejuang and PH, Bersatu needs to think very hard about a new leader,” he told FMT.

Malays were never protected, Syed Saddiq tells Wan Fayhsal

KUALA LUMPUR – Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman today slammed Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan AHmad Kamal for equating the Malays to a tribal society in need of a protector, saying it is an outdated view no longer relevant to today’s politics.

Syed Saddiq said the “protector” approach is a common tactic among the country’s older politicians to pitch for support from the majority of Bumiputeras – the “sons of the soil” who account for over 60% of Malaysia’s 32 million population.

“They know that instilling fear, anxiety, and insecurity among the Malays will split the votes and support of Malaysians for parties that carry the voices of all Malaysians, like Muda,” he said in a Facebook post.

“The question is: all this while, were the Malays protected by these outdated parties?”

Ex-aide rubbishes call for Muhyiddin to quit as Bersatu chief

[Image: Marzuki-Mohamad-muhyiddin-yassin-collage-070422-1.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: A former aide to Muhyiddin Yassin has dismissed an analyst’s call for the Bersatu president to be replaced following the failure to forge some form of cooperation with opposition parties.

Muhyiddin’s former principal private secretary, Marzuki Mohamad, also said Perikatan Nasional’s heavy loss in the Johor elections was not a valid reason, as that would mean leaders of parties that lost at the polls should resign as well.

PETALING JAYA: Bersatu has rejected an analyst’s opinion that it is in a desperate situation and in need of a new president to lead it into the coming general election.

Faiz Na’aman, a member of the party’s supreme council, claimed that Bersatu was doing better than most of its rivals. He cited the results of the recent Johor state elections.

He said Bersatu performed better in the Johor polls than did Pejuang, Muda, Warisan and Pakatan Harapan although he acknowledged that his party did not outdo DAP.

“PAS is still firm with the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, and we have close relations with GPS,” he told FMT, referring to Gabungan Parti Sarawak, the ruling coalition in the East Malaysian state.
