SHAH ALAM – The form of cooperation between Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) for the Selangor election is expected to be decided by the end of this month, said Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
Amirudin who is also the Selangor PH chairman said he had met several parties in BN informally to discuss the matter.
“Soon within this week or early next week, I will announce something. Today I will highlight the matter in the executive council meeting and make certain decisions. It is a very positive discussion and I hope it will represent the federal government’s sentiment.
“Hopefully by this month, we have already determined what type of collaboration to pursue and after that, in February onwards, we will be preparing for the state election,” he said.
He told the media this after delivering the New Year 2023 message to the state’s civil servants here today.
Amirudin also said a mandate has been obtained from PKR to start discussions regarding the collaboration, which will be decided among PH coalition parties.
“Basically I know there is no opposition, we just have to look at the formula. I have not met (BN members) formally, we meet informally at events and ceremonies and the date and time need to be fixed.
“It means we have to make a preamble or a start to the discussion. There has to be a framework...So we have to start with some frameworks and so on,” he said. – Bernama, January 11, 2023
