PAS today flexed its muscles as a kingmaker party and offered a solution to Perak\u2019s current impasse over the state government: A unity government between itself, Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN).<\/p>\n
But there is a precondition to this bizarre offer: The Perak unity government must be led by someone who is Muslim and who garners the support of the majority of the Muslim state assemblymen.<\/p>\n
\u201cPAS is offering the formation of a unity government (a government without opposition) made up of all political parties (PAS, BN, and PH) with the condition that the unity government is led by a Muslim who has the support of the majority of the Muslim state assemblymen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe majority of the state excos must also be Muslim,\u201d PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Perak PH has been asked by the Perak Sultan to prove it has majority support before giving his consent to form a government.<\/p>\n
Perak Dewan Negara member Datuk Seri Annuar Zaini said Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah had received the Election Commission\u2019s report which stated Pakatan had the most seats at 29.<\/p>\n
\u201cSultan Nazrin Shah has given Pakatan the option to form a government with the condition that they have a simple majority of 30,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters who gathered in front of Istana Kinta here today, where leaders of the four Pakatan parties met the Ruler, Annuar noted that the office of Sultan Nazrin Shah also received a letter from Perak BN to inform the Sultan that the party has the simple majority with Barisan having 27 seats and PAS three seats and both parties agreeing to form a coalition government.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, Sultan Nazrin Shah wanted to confirm the content of the letter and told Barisan to bring the 30 assemblymen on Saturday morning to prove the support,\u201d he said, adding that if Pakatan could not prove it has a simple majority, the Ruler cannot postpone the formation of the state government.<\/p>\n
\u201cPakatan has requested the Ruler postpone the meeting until 2pm,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Annuar noted that this was the second time the Ruler had met both parties after GE14. – mmail<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
