PKR VP: No rift in unity government
SHAH ALAM: PKR has denied claims of a rift among parties in the unity government despite the relationship between Barisan Nasional and Pas.
Shah Alam: The unity government led by Pakatan Harapan (PH) has denied allegations of any rift within its ranks, despite the strained relationship between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pas. PKR vice-president Datuk Chang Lih Kang stated that PH continues to maintain positive relations with BN, even after the coalition formed a strategic partnership with Pas.
However, Chang assured that PKR would keep a close eye on the country's political landscape. So far, there are no issues, and all Umno ministers participated in the cabinet meeting last week. During the meeting, they discussed national concerns without delving into political matters. Chang emphasized that the cabinet is free from turmoil.
Science, technology, and innovation minister Chang made these remarks to reporters following the National Science Challenge finals in his capacity as the minister. Earlier, Umno president Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi confirmed that PH would not be invited to the party's general assembly from September 9 to 12. In exchange, Pas was invited following the invitation extended to Umno leaders for the party's 72nd muktamar in Kota Baru last weekend.
