- An NGO says voters want to know which prime ministerial candidate a possible BN-PN coalition would offer if it wins Malaysia’s next general election.
- Political bureau chairman Shahbudin Embun raised the question of whether the coalition could name a candidate comparable to Anwar Ibrahim.
As cooperation between Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional reportedly moves closer, voters are asking who the proposed alliance would put forward as prime minister if it wins Malaysia’s 16th general election.
Shahbudin Embun, chairman of the Political Bureau of the People’s Social Media Media Attack Secretariat, said the question had become increasingly important.
He also raised the issue of what would happen if Anwar Ibrahim still held a mandate after the election. The report’s source text ends before giving the rest of his remarks.
