“We reiterate that the 109 MPs should be the basis of reclaiming the government, not any lesser groupings of only 91 Pakatan MPs without Warisan and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Bersatu or only 71 MPs without PKR,” they said in a joint statement today. “We are of the view that whether it is Anwar or Shafie, based on 109 MPs, whoever gets the requisite number to get across the line of 112 MPs, should be given the opportunity to lead the coalition government as prime minister,” they said.
“Only PH Plus involving Pakatan, Warisan and Tun’s Bersatu is the winning combination for the next general election. This unified force should be the basic premise, not a divided or diminished Opposition grouping,” said Lim and Mohamad. “In the meantime, the 109 PH Plus MPs and the five parties, namely Amanah, DAP, PKR, Warisan and Tun Dr. Mahathir’s faction of Bersatu, should work very closely together to play the role of a highly effective and united Opposition,” Lim and Mohamad said.
