Muhyiddin says PH and BN, plus PN’s cooperation with BN, have blurred party lines

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin believes the party lines are being blurred by political alliances involving Pakatan Harapan (PH), Barisan Nasional (BN), and Perikatan Nasional (PN). He said PH and BN are both part of the federal government, and he argued that PN’s political cooperation with BN has effectively turned PN into a government supporter. He also pointed to PAS cooperating with BN in the Negeri Sembilan state election as an example of shifting alliances within the Opposition.
PH and BN are both part of the federal government
Muhyiddin stated that Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) are both part of the federal government. In his framing, this overlap means the Opposition landscape is no longer clearly separated by party affiliation.
PN’s cooperation with BN is seen as support for the government
He also argued that Perikatan Nasional (PN) has cooperated politically with BN in a way that, in his view, effectively turns PN into a supporter of the federal government. This is the specific alliance link he raised to explain why party lines appear less distinct.
PAS cooperating with BN in Negeri Sembilan is cited as shifting alliances
Muhyiddin pointed to PAS’ decision to cooperate with BN in the Negeri Sembilan state election as evidence of shifting alliances. He said the move exposed divisions within the Opposition over PN’s future direction.
The combined effect is a “major void” in clear checks and balances
He argued that, amid these shifting arrangements, Bersatu faces political pressure because there is now a “major void” in Malaysian politics. In this context, he maintained that no other party could provide effective checks and balances, which he linked directly to the blurred lines created by the PH-BN and PN-BN relationships.
