ISKANDAR PUTERI – Johor Pakatan Harapan (PH) will not propose any changes in the composition of the state’s executive committee, the Johor Legislative Assembly was told today.

Opposition leader Liew Chin Tong said Johor PH accepted the results of the state election in March, which gave Barisan Nasional (BN) a two-thirds majority in the legislative assembly.

He said, however, Johor PH suggested that the state government strengthen bipartisan cooperation with the opposition bloc for the well-being of Bangsa Johor.

“Johor PH is committed and open to suggestions of collaborating with the state and federal governments to ensure the people benefit fully, especially in efforts to raise the quality of life.

“By taking into account the 15th general election results and the federal-level unity government understanding, Johor PH humbly proposes for stronger bipartisan cooperation between the state government and the opposition for the well-being of Bangsa Johor,” he said.

Liew (Perling-DAP), who is also Johor DAP chairman, said this when debating Budget 2023 during the Johor assembly sitting at Bangunan Sultan Ismail, Kota Iskandar, here, today.

The Johor election on March 12 saw BN win a two-thirds majority by securing 40 seats in the 56-seat state assembly, with PH winning 11 seats, Perikatan Nasional three seats, and PKR and Muda one seat each. – Bernama, December 4, 2022
