PKR vice-president Tian Chua deflected a question on whether the actions of his former allies in PKR, Azmin Ali and Zuraida Kamaruddin, over the last week had strayed from the reform agenda.

Instead, he answered that the new government's future and direction is unclear.

"We can't see a clear direction, I can't judge whether this new government will even happen. We don't know because in Parliament there will be a challenge to see whether Muhyiddin Yassin has the majority to continue as prime minister.

"Whether this new cabinet will include those who before this was perceived to have abused their power, be involved in corruption, will return to the leadership line-up, we don't know that yet," Chua said in an interview with Sinar Harian today.

Azmin and Zuraida were key players in a coup attempt last week, which saw the Pakatan Harapan government collapse after Dr Mahathir Mohamad resigned as prime minister.

Azmin and Zuraida have since joined Bersatu and are now part of the Perikatan Nasional coalition headed by Muhyiddin, which includes Umno and PAS.

Chua, who was closely aligned to Azmin, said that regardless of who is in power, the reform agenda initiated by Harapan in 2018 must continue.

He said those who received the people's mandate to form government in 2018, must also not be excluded from the "administrative formula".

"(Not including them) would be a denial of the voter's rights.

"I am stern in this, whatever administrative formula, whether it is led by Muhyiddin or Mahathir, must absorb the group which received the people's mandate in the last election.

"They are the parties that were chosen by the people," he said.

Chua, during the interview, had expressed support for Mahathir's vision to form a non-partisan government.

Asked a hypothetical question on who he would back in a no-confidence vote, the former Batu MP said as a PKR member, he will support Mahathir.
