Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president Muhyiddin Yassin underscored the need for a broad opposition coalition which include Parti Amanah Negara and DAP.

This was despite PAS' insistence that parties that want to cooperate with the Islamic party must first ditch DAP.

Speaking at the launch of the Bersatu’s Pagoh division last night, Muhyiddin noted that PAS leaders had acknowledged that opposition parties must cooperate if they were to defeat Umno.

"To defeat Umno, PAS, PKR and Bersatu must work together in the general election and when Umno is defeated, we can form a new government.

"It's not that they (the other parties) will not be in it. There will be Amanah, there will be DAP...

"The objective is to join in a struggle and finally form a government where power can be shared," he told the ceramah in Muar which was broadcast live on Facebook.

He said Bersatu cannot win alone, just like Umno cannot form the government on its own.

"They too have to work with other parties like MCA, MIC and others," he said.

Muhyiddin said he is working to get all opposition parties to reach a common understanding.

"All parties need to agree on two things. One, we need to work as a team.

"Secondly, we need one-to-one contests against BN," he said.
