KUANTAN: There is a need to establish a larger coalition of political parties with as many members as possible to ensure a stable government, Pahang PPBM leader Saifuddin Abdullah said today.

Saifuddin, who was appointed chairman of Perikatan Nasional Pahang last night, said: “We are now in a situation in which there are parties who are part of the PN-led government, but not in the PN coalition, and that is raising a lot of questions.

“As for PPBM, it is better to be in a PN government and the coalition as well.”

Saifuddin’s comment comes at a time when Umno members at their general assembly are seeking to sever Umno’s relationship with PPBM. Umno has also questioned the stance of PAS, which is its partner in Muafakat Nasional. The Islamic party is also a member of PN.
