00:00All Perikatan National Component Parties have agreed to the coalition being led by PAS, says Dakiudin Hassan.
00:08The PN Deputy Secretary General said some components had previously objected to the Islamic Party taking over the reins,
00:16but that was no longer an issue now, Berita Harian reported.
00:20The post has been left vacant since Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin's resignation effective January 1st following the Perlis political crisis.
00:30Dakiudin's comment comes just days after Gerakan President Dominic Lau dismissed claims that his party opposes PAS helming PN,
00:38although he stopped short of openly endorsing PAS.
00:42On February 1st, Muhyiddin's former Principal Private Secretary claimed that Gerakan and Malaysian Indian People's Party
00:49oppose PAS being given the PN chairmanship.
00:52According to Marzuki Mohamad, Gerakan and MIPP agreed to a proposal for the PN Presidential Council
00:59to be strengthened and to be led by Muhyiddin as a way to balance PAS's more hardline Islamic image.
01:06Separately, Burnama reported Dakiudin Hassan saying that PN will hold an extraordinary meeting this Sunday
01:11to discuss the appointment of the coalition's new chairman.
