In a Facebook post, Muhyiddin said among the leaders who attended the discussion were the presidents from PN components parties, namely Gerakan’s Dominic Lau, and the Malaysian Indian People’s Party’s P Punithan, as well as opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin.

The others who attended the meeting included Pejuang president Mukhriz Mahathir, acting Muda president Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz, Putra president Ibrahim Ali, Urimai chairman P Ramasamy, Parti Sosialis Malaysia deputy chairman S Arutchelvan, and Malaysian Advancement Party president P Waytha Moorthy.

Muhyiddin said the formation of such a front was aimed at strengthening check and balance “in or outside Parliament”.

“The feedback we received on the proposal by those who attended was extremely positive.

“I will raise their views at the next PN Supreme Council meeting,” he said.

On Tuesday, Bersatu authorised Muhyiddin, its president, to spearhead efforts to build ties with parties outside the government bloc to form a united opposition front.

Bersatu secretary-general Azmin Ali said the initiative would entail discussions aimed at forging a unified position on issues concerning the rakyat’s interests.
