ISKANDAR PUTERI: Johor Pakatan Harapan (PH) will not propose any changes in the composition of the state government’s executive committee, the state assembly sitting was told today.

Opposition leader Liew Chin Tong said Johor PH accepted the results of the state elections in March, which gave Barisan Nasional (BN) a two-thirds majority in the state assembly.

He said, however, Johor PH had suggested that the state government strengthen bipartisan cooperation with the opposition bloc in the state assembly for the well-being of “Bangsa Johor”.

“Johor PH is committed and open to suggestions for collaboration with the state government and federal government to ensure the people benefit fully, especially in efforts to raise the quality of life.

“By taking into account the results of GE15 and the understanding that enabled the formation of a unity government at the federal level, Johor PH humbly proposes to menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi to strengthen bipartisan cooperation.”

Liew (DAP-Perling), who is also Johor DAP chairman, said this when debating the 2023 budget during the Johor state assembly sitting today.

The Johor state elections on March 12 saw BN win a two-thirds majority by securing 40 seats in the 56-seat state assembly, with PH winning 11 seats, Perikatan Nasional three seats and PKR and Muda winning one seat each. - FMT
