PUTRAJAYA, Aug 30<\/strong> \u2014 Perikatan Nasional\u2019s call for the Opposition to consider renegotiating\u00a0political cooperation is one made in the interests of Malaysia\u2019s future and its\u00a0people and not the coalition, its chairman\u00a0Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said today.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former prime minister, who is currently National Recovery Council (MPN) chairman, said this was to save the country from falling further into kleptocracy, corruption and abuse of power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis\u00a0call stems from the concerns\u00a0currently voiced by the people. It is not made in PN\u2019s political interests or to win the 15th\u00a0general election (GE15),\u201d<\/em> Muhyiddin said after chairing an MPN meeting here today.<\/p>\n\n\n

In his speech at the PN convention on Saturday, Muhyiddin called on Opposition party leaders to reconsider cooperation with PN during GE15. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PN comprises Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), PAS, Gerakan, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) Sabah and Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked about Rafizi Ramli\u2019s statement that Pakatan Harapan (PH) will not cooperate with PN, Muhyiddin, who is Bersatu president, said it was merely the PKR deputy president\u2019s personal opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat I have read so far, the one rejecting cooperation is Rafizi alone. It is alright, we will accept his views. However, political cooperation can bring together parties to offer what is best for the people,\u201d<\/em> he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhyiddin said Bersatu was ready to face eventualities in GE15, including the possibility of facing multi-cornered contests.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
