Umno may not have a future if it backs PN, say analysts Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2022, 04:54 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Umno risks its future if it decides to back Perikatan Nasional (PN) instead of Pakatan Harapan (PH), says an analyst. University of Tasmania’s James Chin said this was because Bersatu is eager to oust Umno as the main Malay party in the country, adding that the Muhyiddin Yassin-led party was resentful of the latter. He added that this resentment extends to the leadership of Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and former prime minister Najib Razak. “If they join PN to form the government, they will be totally overshadowed, and might even be swallowed up by Bersatu,” he told FMT. Chin went on to say that if Umno backs PH, it could regain some legitimacy in the long run. It would also be seen as “respecting” the wishes of the majority of voters as PH won popular support. The coalition also won the most seats, 82, in the general election. “Joining PH is what people want, as they have the largest number of seats.” - More -   ‘Violation’ of promise: Bung Moktar fumes at GRS aligning with PN Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2022, 04:43 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KOTA KINABALU – Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) has violated its promise to Barisan Nasional (BN) by moving to support Perikatan Nasional (PN), Sabah BN chairman Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin has claimed. Bung said to Astro Awani today that Sabah BN will discuss its partnership in the state, which it is jointly ruling with GRS, after the federal government is formed. Sabah is currently under the GRS-BN government. Under the present arrangement, Hajiji is the chief minister of Sabah while Bung is a deputy chief minister. Bung was present today in Kuala Lumpur in the meeting between leaders of BN and Pakatan Harapan over a possible collaboration in forming the next government of Malaysia. - More -   With BN backing nullified, Perikatan does not have enough support: Pakatan sec-gen Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2022, 04:31 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Pakatan Harapan (PH) has rubbished Perikatan Nasional (PN) secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin’s claims that his coalition had support from more than 112 elected parliamentarians to form the government. PH secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said this was because Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had nullified purported declarations or negotiations involving Umno MPs and PN. Saifuddin said therefore Hamzah’s claims were invalid and cannot be used as evidence of support for any prime ministerial candidate. He added that Zahid’s assertions meant that PN could lose several seats it claims to hold. - More -   Abang Johari takes heat from inside GPS over PN pact Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2022, 04:14 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – It appears that not all Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) members are happy with the alliance with Perikatan Nasional (PN) to form the federal government. Highly placed sources told The Vibes that chief among the concerns was the inclusion of PAS and the anti-Christian narratives played up in the final hours of the election campaign. “We were not consulted on this and it appears that Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg is making arbitrary decisions,” said one source. Party members hope GPS chairman Abang Johari does not help push extreme Malaya parties into power in Putrajaya. “We are having difficulty explaining to our members why we are tying up with PAS and Bersatu. “Their politics are inconsistent with the values of the people in Sarawak,” said another. - More - Saarani is Perak’s new MB, backed by Pakatan Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2022, 02:54 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Kota Tampan assemblyman Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad has the majority in the state assembly to form a Barisan Nasional (BN)-Pakatan Harapan (PH) government, said Dewan Negara Perak member Tan Sri Mohd Annuar Zaini. The palace official confirmed the matter at a press conference outside of Istana Kinta, saying that Sultan Nazrin Shah will be swearing the Umno man in at 5.30pm today in Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar. “Earlier, Abdul Aziz Bari from PH and Saarani from BN had an audience with the sultan and both agreed to form a government, with nine BN assemblymen and 24 PH assemblymen. In total, they had 33 assemblymen who named their chosen candidate as menteri besar,” said Annuar. - More -   We’re discussing a unity govt, not a PH, DAP govt, says Anwar Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2022, 02:49 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: Discussions between Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional revolve around forming a unity government, not a PH or DAP administration, says PKR president Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar was responding to BN treasurer-general Hishammuddin Hussein saying he will not support any cooperation with PH to form the government. Hishammuddin, the Sembrong MP, had said BN should not work with Anwar or DAP, adding that he was ready to be sacked by Umno for his stand. Source: FMT   Truth on Muhyiddin’s statement of instruction from palace in doubt Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2022, 12:02 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s assertion that he has received a letter from the palace containing instructions to form the next government, could be false and a mere psywar to enable him to forge alliances in a power grab. According to procedure, the letter should come from the speaker of the House, not the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, said a source. The source, a senior political observer who asked to remain anonymous, added that an indication that Muhyiddin was engaging in a psywar is the contents of a media statement issued by the palace yesterday. “The statement said the king was officially informed of the election result by the Election Commission (EC) chairman – which is the protocol. - More -   Fear grows that Umno will play ‘third fiddle’ to PAS, Bersatu Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2022, 11:01 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Reports that only Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is in support of working with Pakatan Harapan to form the government are not true, according to a source in Barisan Nasional. The source said forming the government with Perikatan Nasional would see Umno playing “third fiddle” to PAS and Bersatu when it came to Malay interests. There is fear within Umno that it will cease to exist if this happens, the source said. The source also said many BN MPs did not sign statutory declarations backing Muhyiddin Yassin as the prime minister, contrary to media reports. “After two years in Muhyiddin’s government, Umno had already become so split with his ‘scheme of things’. Another five years, and Umno will be ‘gone’. “Some Umno and BN MPs are afraid that having PAS as the leading bloc may not be good for investor and economic confidence. That’s why there is still a dilemma,” the source said. - More -   Coalition govt should be formed via party-to-party negotiations, not SDs – Bersih Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2022, 10:46 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies THE Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) takes exception to the call of Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun for party leaders to submit statutory declarations (SDs) of their MPs who are willing to give support to a prime minister candidate to form the new government. The speaker should know that the use of SDs for the formation of the government has been proven to be a failure, again and again, contributing to much instability over the years. A parliamentary government is a government based on a common governance programme, not a bunch of individual MPs supporting a common prime minister candidate, whether or not in exchange for positions. It is unreasonable that party leaders are rushed into deals before all their MPs have the chance to deliberate and be heard. No timeline should be set for this important process. The most important goal in this process is to ensure that a sustainable and stable government can be formed and this can only be achieved through a carefully negotiated agreement between the parties and it should not be hastily rushed through using SDs. - More -   Barisan top guns to decide who to support as PM, says Saravanan Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2022, 10:41 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Hours before the 2pm deadline set by Istana Negara, PKR secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail is spotted entering the Seri Pacific Hotel here shortly after 9am. [i]It was rumoured that there is a meeting between rivals Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional leaders as the race to Putrajaya remains open. - More -[/i] Pages (1146): « Previous 1 … 545 546 547 548 549 … 1146 Next » Jump to page:
