PN to discuss with Sabah, S'wak parties to form govt, but says no to Harapan

GE15 | Perikatan Nasional is ready to discuss with parties from Sabah and Sarawak tomorrow to form the federal government but it will not work with Pakatan Harapan.

PN chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin said the coalition will accept any party which can accept its principles to form a government that is stable and clean.

"To form a PN-led government, I will discuss with parties from Sabah and Sarawak soon.

"In guaranteeing stability, PN also welcomes any party which is ready to accept PN principles to form a clean, stable and caring government," he added.

"No Pakatan Harapan," Muhyiddin told reporters when asked if PN will consider the opposition coalition led by Anwar Ibrahim.

The Pagoh MP earlier announced that PN has secured 73 parliamentary seats so far, and still waiting for the results of six more seats in which votes are being counted by the Election Commission.

"We are going to hold discussions tomorrow, and hopefully by tomorrow evening, we can finalise (our decision)," he added.

Muhyiddin claimed that discussions have to be held soon as PN has received a letter from Istana Negara containing instructions from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

He, however, declined to reveal the specific content of the alleged letter.

"We have also received a letter from Istana Negara, which content shall not be revealed now.

"(Istana Negara) has provided us with a list of things that we need to accomplish as per the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's wish, and we need to do it as soon as possible."

Muhyiddin said if PN manages to form a federal government with parties that can work with them, they will focus to deliver all “PN Best” promises made to the rakyat during the election campaign period.

Borneo bloc

Meanwhile, it was reported by Malay Mail that Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) will work together to form a “Borneo bloc”.

This is to help form a federal government with a national coalition that can bring stability to the nation and the most benefit to the two states, the report said.

The report quoted Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor saying he has spoken to Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg on the matter and reached a consensus.

However, he said GRS could not decide which coalition to work with yet, because the full results have yet to be announced by the Election Commission.
