BN remains committed with unity government till end of term

BN's Supreme Council member, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, affirmed today that the coalition remains committed to the unity government until the conclusion of the current term. Khaled emphasized that this commitment should not be swayed by political shifts or circumstances. The decision to collaborate with Pakatan Harapan (PH) at the federal level, he stated, was aimed at ensuring political stability in the country.

"Our commitment to the formation of this Federal Government was made with the awareness that political stability is important for the country," he explained.

Khaled's remarks come in response to PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's assertion that PKR would continue its cooperation with BN and Umno for the sake of political stability and the well-being of the people. Anwar had called for political decisions not to be based on anger or self-interest, but on what is best for the nation and its citizens.

Khaled reiterated that BN's decision to compete against PH in the elections for the states of Sabah, Johor, and Negeri Sembilan does not impact its commitment at the federal level. He noted that differences in state administration do not hinder effective cooperation at the national level, which is a unique aspect of Malaysia's political landscape.

Regarding the upcoming 16th General Election (GE16), Khaled indicated that BN would determine its political course at that time. He stressed that the forthcoming election should not be a reason to alter BN's existing commitment to the federal government. "For now, BN will remain committed and serious in carrying out its role and responsibilities in the Federal Government until the end of the term," Khaled concluded.
