Tutup pintu kerjasama sukarkan PH menang banyak kerusi, kata pemimpin Amanah

Faiz Fadzil, the Senior Vice Chairman of Amanah, has stated that Pakatan Harapan (PH) needs to open the door for cooperation with any party, including Bersatu, if they share the same goal of fighting corruption, exploitation, and social fragmentation. The Senior Vice Chairman believes that closing the door to cooperation may hinder PH's chances of winning more seats in elections, including the upcoming Melaka and Putrajaya by-elections.

To win in Melaka and the 2016 General Election, PH should work with other parties to secure more seats, while also appealing to non-Malay voters and maintaining support from non-Malays. Faiz emphasized that PH cannot shut the door to cooperation in politics and must embrace fellow opponents. If a different party can add value to PH, they should seize that opportunity.

The Melaka PH team affirmed their intention to contest the upcoming PRN as a solo party, but there are speculations about the possibility of aligning with Bersatu based on their recent dinner meeting. These speculations were fueled by the last dinner meeting between PH leaders from Melaka and Bersatu, although the DAP representative did not attend.

Recently, Amanah's Communication Officer, Khalid Samad, suggested that PH should contest the PRN and 2016 General Election alone to strengthen the political identity of the alliance, following their cooperation with BN and PAS in the upcoming election. This approach would allow PH to present clear principled ideas, foundations, and candidates to the people without causing confusion due to the fragmentation of cooperation with other parties.

Khalid's suggestion, according to Faiz, refers to the lack of cooperation between PH and BN, not closing the door to cooperation with other parties. "It does not mean PH will shut the door for cooperation with any party that shares the same struggle agenda," Faiz clarified. Fellow DAP Melaka Secretary, Damian Yeo, also reiterated his opposition to PH boycotting the Melaka PRN campaign if there is any alignment with Bersatu.
