Speaking to reporters, Amirudin stated that PH remains open to discussions with various parties, including BN, and that all possibilities are currently on the table. The coalition's priority, he emphasized, is securing electoral success while also addressing the interests of the people and ensuring political stability for economic recovery and effective crisis response.
