00:00Perikatan National Chairman Muhyiddin Yassin should consider redistributing leadership
00:06roles within the coalition as Persatu's hold over key positions could create discord.
00:13This is what PAS spiritual leader Hashim Yassin warned, highlighting that PAS,
00:18which governs four states and has strong grassroots support across the country,
00:22should be given appropriate positions within PN.
00:26He said appointments to key posts require careful consideration and expressed hope
00:31that certain changes could be made to satisfy all parties, Utusan Malaysia reported.
00:37He said he believes that PAS members are not
00:39entirely pleased that key PN positions are dominated by Persatu.
00:44He said if the PN chairman is from Persatu,
00:47the deputy chairmanship should be given to PAS, but this has not happened.
00:52Hashim previously challenged the notion that Muhyiddin should remain PN's prime minister
00:56candidate after he said that a PAS leader should lead the coalition,
01:00citing its larger parliamentary representation and stronger grassroots network.
01:05In its report today, Utusan Malaysia said the resignation of PAS Vice President Ahmad Samsuri
01:10Mokhtar as PN treasurer on December 15 was seen as a protest by PAS against
01:15Persatu's control over key positions in the coalition.
