PH must be willing to work with like-minded parties, says Amanah

Pakatan Harapan (PH) must be open to working with various parties, including Bersatu, as long as they share common goals of combating corruption, misuse of power, and extreme racial ideologies, according to Amanah secretary-general Faiz Fadzil. He emphasized that limiting cooperation would make it challenging for the coalition to secure more seats in upcoming elections, adding that PH should seize any opportunities to expand its influence.

Faiz's comments follow communications director Khalid Samad's suggestion for PH to go alone in the upcoming Melaka polls and the forthcoming general election against Umno and PAS. However, Faiz clarified that the call for PH to go solo pertains to the absence of cooperation with the Barisan Nasional (BN) and does not imply closing the door to partnering with other parties that align with PH's political agenda.

Former DAP Melaka chairman Damian Yeo has indicated his intention to abstain from PH's Melaka state election campaign if an electoral arrangement is made with Bersatu, citing the ongoing resentment from the 2020 PH-led federal and Melaka governments' collapse due to Bersatu's actions.
