00:00Parti Socialist Malaysia has ruled out joining the loose coalition announced by Bersatu President

00:05Muhyiddin Yassin yesterday, saying it is not comfortable with the way many of the parties

00:09involved play on ethnic issues. PSM chairman Dr. Michael Jayakumar-Devaraj said it had decided

00:15against participating in the coalition after internal discussions. Jayakumar also said that

00:21joining a coalition was not on the cards for PSM at the moment, as the party's general membership

00:26has taken the position that it should not join any coalition unless they reform their ways.

00:32On PSM's previous electoral pact with Muda, Jayakumar said a meeting would be held with the

00:37youth-based party to understand its reasons for aligning itself with Muhyiddin's coalition.

00:42Yesterday, it was reported that 11 opposition parties had agreed to form a loose coalition

00:47aimed at holding the government accountable and pressing Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on

00:52reform pledges they claimed had remained unfulfilled. According to Muhyiddin, the coalition comprised

00:58Bersatu, PAS, Gerakan, Pejuang, Muda, the Malaysian Indian People's Party, Putra, Bajasa, Urimay,

01:06the Malaysian Advancement Party, and the National Indian Muslim Alliance Party.
