Umno Youth leader urges BN central leadership to consider working with Pakatan

[superadmin]

IPOH, Nov 20 — Umno Petaling Jaya division youth chief Azlan Abu Bakar today said that the party leadership must consider the possibility of forming the federal government with Pakatan Harapan (PH) for the betterment of the country.

"In my opinion, the first step of a proper party reform should start with working together with PH for the sake of the people and the country to have a stable government.

"Opting to work with PN will likely be a repeat of what has been happening for the past few years.

"And since PH has managed to win the highest number of seats, it means that people prefer PH administration rather than a PN coalition government,” he said referring to yesterday’s result showing PH has won 82 seats — the highest number for a coalition.

Pakatan, Barisan leaders should set egos aside, work together: Penang PKR leader

GEORGE TOWN – A senior PKR elected representative has called on both Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) to swallow their pride and consider working together for the sake of securing political stability for the people.

“The nation’s political uncertainty has taken too long to be resolved, there is a need for an ‘out of the box’ approach.

“Perhaps certain terms and conditions can be inserted but overall, it is better for PH and BN to collaborate simply because in the past, BN had failed in its partnership with Perikatan Nasional (PN) together with the Borneo bloc.

“I think the partnership with PN only lasted several months. It would have been shorter if not for the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in lockdowns.
