The various parties that make up the yet-to-be formalised Perikatan Nasional coalition will remain a loose alliance for now, and that is likely to work to their advantage.A political analyst said a formal coalition now could, in fact, hurt the partnership.
BN, which comprises Umno, MCA and MIC now have a total of 42 seats in Parliament. Next comes Bersatu with 30 and PAS with 18.There is also an independent MP who has pledged to support Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. In fact, GPS has publicly stated that it will not be part of the coalition but will merely be “friendly” with the federal government and be “supportive” of Muhyiddin.PAS secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan“The new government is still looking to bring Malaysia back on the right track following a week-long political impasse,” he said yesterday.“Yes, we will definitely make it official. But we are still in the drafting stage. There is no deadline.
Political analyst Prof Madya Dr Mohd Azizuddin Mohd Sani said formalising a coalition is not the priority now.
