00:00Analysts say PAS's proposal for Parikata National Presidential Council is likely a calculated move to dilute the influence of coalition chairman Muhyiddin Yassin.
00:13Azmi Hassan of Academy Nusantara said the proposal could have stemmed from PAS's dissatisfaction with the current power structure in PN.
00:23He said this is because PAS currently has limited say in the coalition as Bersatu holds both the chairman and secretary-general positions.
00:33PAS said yesterday that it had proposed the formation of a PN presidential council comprising the heads of the opposition's pact four components.
00:43It was said that the council would oversee PN while an executive committee would take on the task of championing issues.
00:51University Malaysia Sabah analyst Sharuddin Awang Ahmad said PAS's proposal was a strategic move that could shift PN's leadership dynamics.
01:01He said the council would limit Muhyiddin's decision-making power, shifting the coalition towards a more balanced power-sharing model.
