ISKANDAR PUTERI, Feb 23 — Despite expecting multiple-cornered contests in the coming state election, Johor Perikatan Nasional (PN) said it is optimistic it can secure a more than two-thirds majority to form the next state government.

Johor PN secretary Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal said the coalition’s leadership is aware of the increase in candidates vying for seats this time round and is confident that it can win the required seats and form the next state government.

He explained that this was based on the coalition’s previous experience of having its leaders in administering both state and also federal governments.

“PN has been in the government before. We also have a former prime minister and also mentri besar in our ranks.
