00:00The next Perikatan National Chairman should be the president of a coalition component,

00:06says Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin.

00:09Muhyiddin, who relinquished the PN chairmanship on January 1st,

00:13said this was Bersatu's stand on the matter,

00:16noting that there were only four party presidents in PN.

00:20The others are Pasis Abdul Hadi Awang,

00:23Gerakans Dominic Lau and Pi Punidhan of the Malaysian Indian People's Party.

00:27The former prime minister said Hadi had already ruled out taking over PN's leadership due to health factors,

00:34acknowledging the dilemma Bersatu's stand would put PN in.

00:39However, Muhyiddin said he would propose revamping PN's constitution to improve its administration,

00:45subject to the agreement of its Supreme Council.

00:49He said this revision would lead to some changes in position in the coalition,

00:53but ensure PN's sustainability.

00:55Despite Muhyiddin's stand, several other PN leaders, including some from Bersatu,

01:01have said that the next PN chairman need not be a party president.
