Youth group urges BN ministers to quit over PN alliance

Angkatan Muda Harapan (AMH), a youth wing, has called for all Barisan Nasional (BN) ministers and deputy ministers to resign from the unity government. The group cited BN's recent cooperation with Perikatan Nasional (PN) in Johor and Negeri Sembilan as evidence that the party disregards the trust placed in them by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

AMH stated that BN's willingness to openly collaborate with PN demonstrates a preference for narrow political maneuvering over short-term interests. They pointed to statements by BN Chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, suggesting the BN-PN cooperation is not merely a temporary strategy but could shape future political alignments towards the 16th General Election.

The youth group argued that the immediate resignation of BN's cabinet members would allow the party to fully concentrate on strengthening its political ties with PN without jeopardizing the federal government's administration. AMH believes this move would also clarify BN's operational methods for the public, enabling them to cease "two-faced" behavior and realize their desired "new BN-PN formula."

Furthermore, AMH suggested that the departure of BN ministers and deputy ministers would mitigate the risk of "roof-tapping" attempts that could destabilize the unity government. This, they contended, would allow the government to focus on economic development, investment attraction, and enhancing public welfare.
