Shamsul, who is also the Lenggong MP, said whatever the situation, his party would focus on resolving the current flood crisis affecting the people.

In a joint statement yesterday, Johor PH leaders Aminolhuda Hassan (Amanah), Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh (PKR) and Liew Chin Tong (DAP) said they were opposed to any power struggle, and were committed to easing the burden of the people affected by the floods.

They said all efforts and funds should be channelled towards helping the people.

Johor menteri besar Hasni Mohammad was previously reported as saying the state government would look into and monitor the current situation, including holding state elections.

The BN-led state government has 28 seats, including Bersatu’s 11 seats, while PH has 27 seats.
