KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 — Perikatan Nasional (PN), under the leadership of Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, is developing a big coalition of political parties that will unite the people fairly, justly, inclusively and harmoniously in a new political mould, said Pahang PN chairman Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was also confident that PN had learned from the weaknesses of Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) that any decisions made by a coalition should be based on discussions and not dominated by one party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In BN, UMNO is the dominant party. BN’s top posts – chairman, deputy chairman, secretary-general, treasurer, women’s chief, youth chief, information chief – are held by UMNO. In PN, they are shared among component parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In PH, there was no party that was dominant, but a situation where it was supported by ‘a big majority from a minority group\u2019 and ‘only a small minority from the majority group\u2019, causing it not to last long,\u201d he said in a post on his official Facebook page today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saifuddin, who is also Pahang Bersatu chief, also agreed with the Prime Minister that the country needed to adopt new politics that is functioning, caring and stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Among the characteristics of the new politics is that under a coalition of political parties, there doesn’t exist one dominant party while smaller parties are marginalised,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
