PN youth wings say coalition decisions must be discussed and decided by the PN Supreme Council, not made unilaterally by any single component party.
KUALA LUMPUR: Decisions made in the name of Perikatan Nasional (PN) are not the absolute right of any single coalition party to make unilaterally.
The youth wings of PN’s three component parties issued this reminder following Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s resignation as PN chairman.
Bersatu Armada, Gerakan National Youth and the Malaysian Indian People’s Party (MIPP) National Youth stressed that any coalition stance must be referred to, discussed and decided through the PN Supreme Council.

In a joint statement, the youth leaders said this process is in line with Clause 13 of the PN Constitution.
“Although all component parties have the right to express their views, the Perikatan Nasional’s stance must be decided by consensus with all component parties,” they said.
The statement was jointly issued by Bersatu Armada chief Hilman Idham, Gerakan National Youth chief Lee Boon Shian and MIPP National Youth chief Justin Prabakaran.
They urged leadership at all levels to practise politics of wisdom and prudence.
The youth wings also called for the maintenance of the coalition’s manners and ethics to realise a larger agenda for the people and Malaysia’s future.
Muhyiddin had earlier announced his resignation as the central PN chairman, effective Jan 1, 2026. – Bernama
