00:00The state of Perikatan National's stability and leadership has come into question after

00:06backing Dr Mahathir Mohamad's initiative to oppose a common enemy of the Malays.

00:12Academy of Sciences Malaysia fellow Jayom Jawan said PN's move clearly shows that there

00:18are unresolved issues between Bersatu and PAS, the two key member parties of the coalition.

00:24He said it also signals a lack of confidence in the coalition's leaders, particularly PN

00:30Chairman Muhyiddin Yassin, who has competitors within Bersatu and PAS who are eyeing the

00:35top post in PN.

00:37On Thursday, Mahathir said he and several PN leaders had banded together to oppose a

00:42common enemy of the Malays, claiming that the Malays had been gradually deprived of

00:47their rights under the unity government.

00:50Political analyst James Chin of University of Tasmania said Mahathir's move appeared

00:55to be more about undermining Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim than about broader national

00:59issues.

01:01He highlighted that Mahathir had never been in favour of Anwar and had repeatedly stated

01:06that Anwar was unfit to lead Malaysia.

01:09Chin added that for PN's leaders, Mahathir's involvement may serve as a strategy to rally

01:15the Malay community under a united front.
