1. Thread: Making a New Political Alignment Work
 
There has been much speculation, in light of recent events in Perak, that Pakatan Harapan could forge some kind of cooperation with UMNO and Barisan Nasional.
 
Anything taking place in Perak will have national repercussions

2. A development of this kind will naturally be a major, if not earth-shaking event in Malaysian politics.
 
As a KEADILAN MP, I firmly believe that PH is the best platform to achieve a progressive, equitable Malaysia

3. Any new alignment must have the interest of the rakyat at heart—this is non-negotiable.
 
However, it must also be recognised that political realignments are nothing new in Malaysia

4. After the May 13 1969 tragedy, the National Consultative Council was created by Tun Abdul Razak, in part to restore socio-political as well as economic normalcy for Malaysia

5. Except DAP, all the other main Opposition parties took part in the NCC – PAS, the People’s Progressive Party and Gerakan. DAP was protesting the detention of its Secretary General Lim Kit Siang.
