Oh said relations with PAS remained strong and PN’s focus was on the Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional government.

“We may have one or two differing views but that does not affect our cooperation in facing our common enemy, which is the PH-BN government.

“What’s more important is that taking over Putrajaya is our shared goal in PN. So we must focus all our energy and efforts towards this instead of squabbling,” he told FMT.

At its muktamar, several PAS delegates had hit out at Gerakan, including Penang PAS deputy youth chief Hafis Alias who accused Gerakan president Dominic Lau of failing to lead the Penang PN chapter well.

Separately, Oh said Gerakan’s top leadership would discuss a proposal by its youth and women leaders in Penang for the party to contest under its own banner in the next general election.

He maintained that this was only a proposal floated by Penang Gerakan’s women and youth wings. “We will follow the central leadership’s decision,” he said.

Oh nonetheless acknowledged the historical value of Gerakan’s logo, pointing to the party’s success in defeating the Alliance party in Penang during the 1969 election.

“The Gerakan logo has history and can be accepted by voters. Therefore, we hope the Gerakan central leadership will discuss the matter further and then bring it to the PN Supreme Council.”
