He said this is because PN is placing its full trust in the leadership of Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

“It has not crossed our minds to withdraw support because we can see the government is striving to do its best through the Malaysian Family concept that has been launched.

“Everything is proceeding smoothly. InsyaAllah (God willing) we will continue the cooperation and we seek the help of Allah to make all things smooth,” Faizal, who is also Bersatu deputy president, told reporters after a sports event here.

On Oct 22, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi reiterated that the party would not work with Bersatu, which is a PN component member, in the Melaka state election on Nov 20.

Faizal, who is youth and sports minister, said he had good ties with most Umno leaders, especially those in the Cabinet and their relationship is not affected by political manoeuvring.

“I see that there are people and leaders in these two groups who can still cooperate although I do not rule out the possibility of one or two who appear confused by what they should be fighting for,” he added.

The Tambun MP said PN was still willing to discuss cooperation with all parties, including Umno, for the sake of winning the state election.
