State polls: Johor Amanah disappointed with Muda's move to go solo

MUAR - Johor's Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) is disappointed with the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) announcement that it will run solo in the State Elections (PRN) in the next six state elections.

Its chairman Aminolhuda Hassan said Muda turned its back their friends in Pakatan Harapan (PH), with whom they had established cooperation with for previous state elections and the last 15th General Election (GE15).

"Johor PH has always given space to Muda to compete together in state elections even though they use their own logo.

"Although Muda uses its own logo, we give them the space or seats to compete (in the Johor state election).

"In my opinion, Muda should look at the bigger picture, which is the Unity Government, where all parties work together," he said after attending the ‘Korban dan Akikah Bersama Econsave’ event on Tuesday.

In the meantime, Aminolhuda, who is also the Sri Gading MP, said that Muda needed to respect decisions made in an environment that required a stronger union.

He said the term ‘no discussion’ should not be used as an excuse because Muda was given a chance before.

On Monday, Muda announced that it would compete solo in the upcoming state elections.

The stance made Muda would likely clash with PH, which cooperated with BN as well as Perikatan Nasional (PN), which was made up of Pas, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) and Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Gerakan).
