PH parties should not quibble among themselves but remember the reason they were given the mandate to govern in Election 2018.
Recalling that Malaysians voted for institutional reform, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu said the goal has not changed and PH parties should focus on returning to Putrajaya in the next general election with its allies Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his Bersatu faction as well as Sabah-based Parti Warisan Negara.
“Amanah stresses that it is the responsibility of Pakatan Harapan with the alliance of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his team and Warisan to continue to take back the mandate and rights of the people that were given to Pakatan Harapan in the last General Election.
“This is to continue the efforts of governing a country that promotes integrity, guarantees and establishes a stable economy, upholds a government of integrity and fights corruption as well as promotes racial and religious harmony,” Mohamad, better known as Mat Sabu, said in a statement after his party’s national leadership council meeting.
Mohamad said that Amanah too has received many complaints from Malaysians against the PN government over allegedly corrupt practices, including kickbacks in government-linked companies in return for support.
He told the parties in the pact to prepare the machinery for a snap election which PN was reported to be considering to secure a bigger majority.
Amanah and DAP have been urging PKR to return to their PH coalition consensus and support Dr Mahathir as the next prime ministerial candidate again if Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim fails to achieve majority support in Parliament at the next sitting.
The statement was a response to PKR’s earlier statement yesterday when its central leadership council rejected Dr Mahathir be nominated as the Pakatan Plus’ prime minister candidate, saying it will stick by its president Anwar.
PKR, however, said it was open to discussions with all parties, including Dr Mahathir, on how to save the country.
