00:00Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has issued a stinging response to Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin
00:06for saying that the Perikatan National Chairman might not necessarily be the coalition's prime ministerial candidate.
00:12In a Facebook post, Samsuri said many reporters had reached out to him for a response to Muhyiddin,
00:19who was prime minister from March 2020 to August 2021.
00:23He said that regardless of who becomes PN's prime ministerial candidate,
00:27the priority at this juncture should be on bolstering the coalition
00:30and improving cooperation among component parties ahead of the next general election.
00:36Samsuri, who took over the PN chairmanship from Muhyiddin on February 22,
00:40said that what is certain is that Muhyiddin is no longer the prime ministerial candidate.
00:45Muhyiddin reportedly said Samsuri was not necessarily PN's prime ministerial candidate for GE16,
00:52despite his appointment as coalition chairman.
00:54The Bago MP maintained that the matter had not been discussed by Bersatu and PAS.
01:00This came after PASU floated the idea of Samsuri being the Islamic party's candidate for prime minister.
