Will the ‘Perak model’ bring an end to Emergency?

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional are looking at the “Perak model” of cooperation between the government and the opposition, as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong continues to meet party leaders, party insiders say.

A PN insider said they are hoping for “an understanding” with Umno and the opposition to ride the political storm, without having to change the government.

“The difference is that the Perak model saw the menteri besar being replaced. But it is also a model where the opposition and the governing MPs came to an understanding,” he told FMT.

After former menteri besar Ahmad Faizal Azumu was unseated and Saarani Mohamad took over in Perak, a deal was struck where all state assemblymen would be treated fairly with equal allocations and would cooperate to ensure that the government could remain stable to solve the Covid-19 pandemic and economic issues.
