The Perak State Assembly has not received any formal requests to alter the Opposition's seating arrangement following recent changes within Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), according to the state assembly's Speaker, Datuk Seri Mohammad Zahir Abdul Khalid. The current floor plan in the legislature remains unchanged despite the political realignments involving several Bersatu assemblymen.
Notably, Sungai Manik assemblyman Datuk Zainol Fadzi Paharudin was expelled from Bersatu in June and subsequently joined Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan), along with four other assemblymen who are now supporting Wawasan despite retaining their current party status in Bersatu. Zainol Fadzi remains the Perak opposition chief whip despite the internal friction within Bersatu.
As of now, the Perak opposition bench consists of 26 assemblymen, comprising 17 from PAS, eight from Bersatu, and one from Wawasan.
