PETALING JAYA (Feb 23): A PKR assemblyman “aligned to the party’s deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali” (pictured) said a new coalition government would likely be announced today, reported The Malay Mail.
Pemanis (Johor) assemblyman Chong Fat Full said “this new coalition” will replace the current governing Pakatan Harapan (PH).
“This is not the first time discussions took place regarding the new coalition. It has been discussed for quite some time.
“The new coalition will be named Perikatan Nasional, and would include several leaders from DAP, Amanah (Parti Amanah Negara), GPS (Gabungan Parti Sarawak), Umno and PAS,” Chong told the media and the news portal gathered at the Sheraton Hotel here earlier this evening
Chong was about to attend a meeting with several other PKR members aligned to Azmin.
He, however, also added that “this was pending meetings still being”.
Chong also clarified that reports about PKR members aligned to Azmin would leave the party were not true.
“Those aligned to Azmin have no intention to leave the party. We will remain with the party until and if we are sacked by party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,” he said.
“The meetings that are taking place today are the result of Friday night’s decision made during the PH presidential council.
“Most likely something happened during the meeting which pushed Dr Mahathir to take these actions,” he explained, reported Malay Mail.
