00:01Former UMNO Youth Chief Khairi Jamaluddin believes trust between Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim
00:06and his deputy Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is at its lowest point
00:10since the unity government was formed in 2022
00:13Speaking on the latest episode of his Keluar Sekejap podcast
00:17Khairi said Barisan Nasional's decision to team up with Perikatan Nasional
00:21in the Negeri Sembilan election had caused a massive rupture with Pakatan Harapan
00:27The BN-PN alliance won 25 seats while PH secured 11
00:31Khairi said the key question now was how long BN would continue supporting the federal government
00:37arguing that the timing of the next general election was heavily dependent on the coalition
00:42He added that the government might survive even if BN withdrew
00:46but warned its position would become increasingly precarious
00:50amid defections and speculation over MPs switching sides
00:54Perhaps the cards are really with Zahid, he said
00:57Khairi was referring to Wong Chan leaving PKR for Bersama
01:01the presence of Rozia Ismail and Lee Chien Chung at the new party's launch
01:06and speculation that two Sabah MPs could join BN
01:09Separately, Khairi predicted DAP delegates would vote on Sunday to remain in the government
01:14arguing the party would want time to show results and avoid destabilizing Anwar's administration
01:20He also claimed another factor was that some DAP leaders love being ministers
01:26and would be reluctant to give up the perks of office
