00:00An analyst says the proposal for a Perikatan National Advisory Council to appoint a successor to Muhyiddin Yassin following his resignation as coalition chairman yesterday risks being hollow if power remains concentrated in one party.
00:16Mujibu Muiz of University Technology Mara said that on paper the council could be seen as an attempt to centralize negotiations, partly to ease tensions following Muhyiddin's resignation.
00:27Yesterday, FMT reported that PAS would propose an advisory council to appoint a new PN chairman to prevent any dissatisfaction over Muhyiddin's successor.
00:40Analyst Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani Ahmad Sabri said the council meant to allow greater participation for the likes of Gerakan and Malaysian Indian People's Party was a cosmetic exercise given the dominance of PAS and Bersatu.
00:54The senior consultant at Global Asia Consulting said the proposed council was aimed at giving the impression that PN was enthused and had a mechanism to appoint Muhyiddin's successor.
01:06Arif Aizuddin Azlan of UITM said the proposed council highlighted PAS and Bersatu's commitment to strengthening cooperation and preventing internal strife,
01:18but added that it would be effective only if institutionalized through amendments to PN's constitution.
