BARISAN Nasional (BN) treasurer-general Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has stressed that he will not support any cooperation with Pakatan Harapan to form the federal government.
In a Facebook post, the Sembrong MP said he is willing to risk getting sacked by the party but he will not change his stand.
“No Anwar, No DAP – anyone who feels that they can take action and sack me [from the party] for holding on to my principles, go ahead,” he said.
Yesterday, Hishammuddin made it very clear that BN must not cooperate with PH to form the government.
He said that the people had made their choice in the 15th general election (GE15) which must be respected.
“What is clear is there is no single party that can form a government on its own resulting in a hung parliament,” he said.
Hishammuddin added that what was important now was that the country and the people need a stable government to move ahead.
“This is why we must cooperate with those that share the same values and objectives,” he pointed out.
On Saturday, BN saw its worst-ever defeat in GE15 after it managed to only secure 30 seats.
Calls were made for UMNO and BN chief Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to take responsibility and step down.
Among the notable UMNO personalities were its former information chief Shahril Hamdan and Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, who is also Hishammudin’s nephew. – Nov 21, 2022
