00:01The upcoming Johor State election is expected to be the first major test of cooperation between Perikatan Nasional and parties
00:09under the Ikatan Perhatian Rakyat Alliance, says Tun Faizal Ismail Aziz.
00:14The Bersatu Information chief said the polls could also mark the first time the Malaysian Indian People's Party contest as
00:22a PN Component Party.
00:23He added the implementation of an electoral pact with member parties within IPR remains untested, following the PN Supreme Council's
00:33decision to explore cooperation with parties outside the coalition.
00:39Tun Faizal said the polls will gauge support for PN and IPR across different ethnic groups.
00:44Led by Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin, IPR comprises 11 opposition parties, including PAS, Bersatu, Gerakan, Muda, Berjasa, Berjuang and Putra.
00:57But PAS's absence from recent IPR meetings has raised question about its continued participation.
01:04The statement comes as PAS Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man yesterday called for PAS and UMNO to work together
01:12in the Johor election,
01:13saying it was the right time to revive their defunct Muafakat National Alliance.
01:19I'm Nandaria, FMT.
