00:00PN faces a make-or-break moment after losing its opposition leader.
00:05An analyst said Pricata Nacional is now at a crossroads following Hamza Zainuddin's resignation,
00:10with its next leadership choice set to define its future direction.
00:14Ahmad Zahiruddin Sani Ahmad Sabri of Global Asia Consulting said PN's decision would determine
00:20whether it seeks to be a constructive opposition or remain a block driven by rhetoric.
00:25Zahiruddin said failure to pick a leader capable of coming up with solutions to issues
00:30would disqualify the coalition from being seen as a government-in-waiting.
00:35He also said the coalition appears more focused on internal issues
00:39instead of acting as an effective check on the government.
00:43University Malaya's Taufik Yaakob said the opposition leader must not merely be a political speaker.
00:48He said if PN fails to project aggressive and credible leadership,
00:52the coalition will be seen as irrelevant,
00:55strengthening the perception that it's not ready to lead the government.
