DEPUTY Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said no unity government leaders made any offers to PAS to join the current administration.

He was refuting claims made by PAS there were parties offering it to join the current government, a matter that was not even discussed officially among the 19 party leaders or even among coalition chairmen. 

“If there are indeed claims they met with certain leaders, we don’t view it as an official meeting and there isn’t a move made in that direction,” he told the media after charing the cabinet sports development committee meeting in Putrajaya today.

Zahid, who is Barisan Nasional chairman and Umno president, was commenting on PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man’s statement that several parties had contacted and met him to make an offer to join the unity government, similar to claims made by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang previously.

He added that the political stability that exists in Malaysia is vital even though there are differences in opinion and views, and that it can be resolved in a cordial manner. – Bernama, May 30, 2023.
