00:00A Bersatu Supreme Council member has slammed Perikatan Nasional's failure to appoint a chairman for its chapter in Negeri Sembilan,
00:08which will hold a state election on August 1st, labeling the delay a grave lapse in leadership.
00:16R Sri Sanjeevan said Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, as the PN chairman, was responsible for ensuring that the leadership structure and
00:25election machinery in Negeri Sembilan were finalized before the state assembly was dissolved on June 5th.
00:33Sanjeevan stressed that PN's failure to make a decision on such basic matters, even as the state polls drew closer,
00:41demonstrated that the coalition had not made the necessary preparations.
00:46Even more worrying was that PN has failed to explain the coalition's status following PAS's decision to sever ties with
00:54Bersatu, he said, adding that it was no small matter.
00:59Sanjeevan warned that PN's silence, lack of a state chairman, and absence of coordinated election work were already creating doubts,
01:08divisions, and a trust deficit.
01:12Hanifa Abu Bakr of Bersatu stepped down as Negeri Sembilan PN chief earlier this year, following Muhyiddin Yassin's decision to
01:20resign as the coalition's chairman.
