Being in the opposition makes them the heroes of the Malays and will increase Perikatan Nasional’s popularity, says Syaza Syukri.
Political analysts Syaza Syukri and James Chin acknowledge that including Perikatan Nasional in the unity government will bring stability, but believe it is unlikely to happen.
Syaza Syukri of International Islamic University Malaysia said a true unity government could offer increased political stability, but would come at the expense of clear checks and balances.“However, I would say the pros of having political stability outweigh the cons of not having checks and balances. It is what the Madani government needs to survive,” she told FMT.
“From the other side, PAS and Bersatu, it may be some sort of a good idea because it gives them a chance to get back into the government,” he said.However, Chin said PN may not be interested as it already has strong support from the Malay electorate.Earlier, Parti Bangsa Malaysia president Larry Sng called for a national reconciliation on the political scene by urging the unity government to extend an olive branch to PN following the results of last Saturday’s elections in six states.
Following the results of the general election last November, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, asked PN and Pakatan Harapan to work together to form a unity government. However, PN rejected the proposal.
