Learn from experience, rep warns PH about depending on allies
DAP's S Preakas says the coalition should focus on its own strength.
DAP assemblyman S Preakas cautioned that Pakatan Harapan must learn from history and not become overly reliant on allies for support. "If we are too dependent on others, it could cause problems in the future," he warned. Preakas pointed to recent events, such as Barisan Nasional members pulling support for Negeri Sembilan's former chief minister Aminuddin Harun, leading to a loss in a state election.
He also mentioned the previous "Sheraton Move," where Bersatu withdrew from the first Pakatan Harapan government. Despite currently working together at the federal level, Preakas emphasized that PH should rely more on its own strengths. This advice follows a comment from Bersatu's Selangor assemblyman Hilman Idham, who acknowledged the possibility of his party backing Amirudin Shari's administration until the end of its term.
During the 2023 Selangor state election, PH secured 32 of the 56 seats, while Perikatan Nasional won 22 seats - 12 for Bersatu and 10 for PAS. BN managed to hold onto two seats.
