TAIPING: Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan will continue to strengthen cooperation, including at the grassroots level, to ensure political stability in the country, according to Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, who heads the unity government coalition’s secretariat.
He said solid cooperation at all levels could only be established over time, but was achievable.
“It is the same in the context of the unity government. The parties were previously rivals but when required they came together, (but) it takes time.
“This is a normal process because at the leadership level we do not resort to compulsion and want the cooperation to form naturally,” said Asyraf, who is Umno secretary-general.
Amanah deputy president Mujahid Yusof Rawa said recently that the unity coalition should focus on strengthening cooperation between PH and BN members at the grassroots level so that coalition parties will dominate future elections.
