00:00Political analysts say a Perikatan national government would spell disaster for the country
00:07given its internal strife and lack of clear policies.
00:10Hisomudin Bakar of Ilham Center said recent disagreements over PN's support for Najib
00:16Razak showed that its component parties were at odds with one another.
00:21He said there is also disagreement over the opposition coalition's prime ministerial
00:26candidate for the next general election, which reflects a lack of consensus at PN's
00:31highest levels.
00:32Meanwhile, Lao Tzu Wei of the International Islamic University Malaysia believes that
00:38a change of leadership would be futile since PN would be limited to appointing one of several
00:43key figures who were incapable of improving the coalition's reputation.
00:48According to Lao, these figures are Versatu President Muhyiddin Yassin, his deputy Hamzah
00:52Zainuddin, past President Abdul Hadi Awang, and past Vice President Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
00:58On Saturday, Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Karim warned that the country would be in extreme
01:03danger if PN wrested control of Putrajaya.
01:07He said PN may even end up destroying democracy if the government is led by the same leaders
01:12who pushed for parliament suspension during the COVID-19 pandemic.
