JOHOR BARU: The capability of Opposition parties to work together and bring stability to the Johor government has been called into question, with MCA Youth claiming that the alliance between them is tenuous.
Johor MCA Youth deputy chief Tai Chee How said DAP Socialist Youth (Dapsy) vice-chief Muhammad Shakir Ameer Mohideen’s claim that the Pakatan-Muda alliance could bring stability to the country’s politics was untenable.
“Pakatan parties contested under the same banner for the Melaka election but in the Sarawak election, they contested under their respective banners.
“In the upcoming Johor polls, they have split into two with PKR using their own flag while the others are using the Pakatan banner.
“They cannot even agree upon a common logo so where is the stability? Which parties does Pakatan represent?” he asked in a statement on Tuesday (Feb 22).
Tai added that it was public knowledge that PKR and Muda are in disagreement over seat allocations and both sides are often seen arguing with each other.
“Having a solid and united coalition is a basic condition before we may talk about pushing for policies, developing plans and promoting national economic development.
“However, Pakatan does not even have this basic requirement so how are they planning to bring stability to benefit the people,” he said.
