Muhyiddin and Hadi clash over PN chair

In a series of leaked letters, former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Perikatan Nasional president Hadi Abdul Muthalib spar over whether the coalition’s chairmanship should stay or be scrapped. Muhyiddin argues the post is essential for unity, while Hadi pushes for a consensus‑free structure.
The exchange, revealed by Malaysiakini, shows the rift deepening within the party’s leadership. Both men cite party stability, yet their visions clash, leaving members uncertain about the next step for PN’s organisational chart.

For voters and party supporters, this tussle could reshape how PN decides policies and selects candidates, potentially influencing upcoming elections and the coalition’s ability to present a united front.

The dispute may trigger a reshuffle of PN’s internal hierarchy, affect coalition negotiations, and sway public confidence, making the party’s future direction a key factor in Malaysia’s political landscape.
