SHAH ALAM - Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin met with Pejuang chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad two weeks after Johor polls to work together for the 15th general elections (GE15), Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir.

Mukhriz, the Pejuang president added: “He (Muhyiddin) requested to have a meeting and Mahathir said ‘OK'.

"He proposed to work with all (parties) even though he (Muhyiddin) is in the government (Perikatan Nasional), the Jerlun MP said during a press conference in Kuala Terengganu.

“Currently there is an ‘approach’ but not whether we agree to it or not. Maybe what I can say for now is we are not so agreeable with what is being put forward," he added.

But he said no decision has been made on the matter.

“You have to understand, the wounds are not healed and it is still bleeding, but we understand for the sake of the nation and the people, there is nothing we are unwilling to do if the intentions are right.

“But if the intentions are malicious, how are we to agree, for example, (we) won’t align with the intention of freeing oneself from the courts. From the beginning, we have said we do not want to conspire with them,” said Mukhriz.
