Parti komponen buat rundingan sendiri wajar keluar PN, kata Hamzah

Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan) President, Hamzah Zainudin, supports the decision of Perikatan Nasional (PN) Deputy Chief Takiyuddin Hassan remaining within the coalition despite allegations against Bersatu. At a media briefing in Kelantan, Hamzah highlighted that parties wishing to conduct their own political discussions independently should withdraw from PN.

He emphasized the need for parties within PN to act as a unit and entrust constituency voting discussions to the coalition leadership. "If we are already a member of PN, let's stay, discuss, and not bring up individual opinions," he stated.

Hamzah urged parties desiring to be part of a united front to respect their leaders' decisions instead of acting independently. He explained that if a party dislikes the leader, they should leave the coalition. In the past, similar actions were taken against Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (MIPP) when they raised concerns about party adherence to internal rules.

Bersatu, another PN component, has reportedly been considering cooperation with Pakatan Harapan (PH) for PRN Melaka on November 14. Bemban is rumored to be given to Bersatu under a PH Plus alliance. Meanwhile, PN agreed to collaborate with Barisan Nasional (BN) for PRN Melaka, although the seat distribution remains undecided. In the recent PRN Negeri Sembilan on August 1, PN worked with BN, while Bersatu contested solo and lost in all constituencies.

Furthermore, Hamzah defended Takiyuddin's move, stating that it clarified the issue of Bersatu's participation in the coalition meeting and ensured PN's affairs aligned with the constitution and laws. He noted that this approach has been used before with Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (MIPP) concerning their issues with the JPPM party.
