KUALA LUMPUR – MIC hopes that any decision on the proposed cooperation between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) in facing the six state elections will be reached by consensus among BN’s component parties.
MIC president Tan Sri S.A. Vigneswaran said the matter should be discussed and not be decided unilaterally.
When asked about the feasibility of cooperation, particularly in Selangor, Vigneswaran said: “Now anything is feasible in Malaysia. Everything is feasible. What was not possible before is possible now, especially after the 15th general election.”
He said this when met at the Ponggal Day celebration at MIC headquarters here today.
Cooperation between BN and PH to face the state elections had previously been proposed by several PH leaders including PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli and Selangor PH chairman and Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, saying that the partnership between the two coalitions had the potential to win the state polls.
At today’s ceremony, Vigneswaran and his deputy Datuk Seri M. Saravanan celebrated Ponggal together with about 50 MIC party members.
