Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is expected to chair the inaugural Johor Perikatan Nasional (PN) state liaison (BPN) committee meeting in Putrajaya tomorrow (Jan 12).
The meeting is expected to set the direction for a massive nationwide plan that will focus on helping to restore the lives of those severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to a PN Johor spokesperson, Muhyiddin is expected to announce PN's state-level structural organisation at the meeting.
Muhyiddin is the PN as well as Johor BPN chairperson.
"The meeting will also formulate, list, and coordinate all party programmes and activities with the appointment of parliamentary and constituency coordinating committee members," he told Bernama in Johor Bahru today.
In addition, he said the formation of a structural alliance comprising Bersatu and PAS as well as the planned PN programmes are expected to be the model for other states to follow.
"As a coalition of new political parties leading the federal government, all programmes will focus on helping the people, especially the B40 and M40 groups which will further strengthen cooperation between the parties and PN's position as the ruling party," said the spokesperson.
Meanwhile, Johor PAS commissioner Abdullah Husin said the details of the meeting were being discussed by the representatives of Bersatu and PAS.
"In the meeting, we will form a joint-committee where a deputy chair, secretary, and committee members will be appointed.
"This meeting is important because the two parties (Bersatu and PAS) are trying to adapt to each other, and discuss appropriate strategies for Johor," he told Bernama when contacted in Johor Bahru today.
According to Abdullah, through this meeting, they will seek strategies suitable for both parties to be in line with the political situation in Johor.
He said the five top PAS Johor leaders including himself and five Bersatu Johor leaders including Muhyiddin, who is Bersatu president, are expected to sit in the meeting.
When asked if Umno would be included in the meeting, Abdullah replied in the negative.
"Umno will not be involved but PAS will continue to be in Muafakat Nasional with Umno.
"With Bersatu, our relationship is through PN, with Umno it is through Muafakat. Our relations with Umno is still good," said Abdullah.
On Jan 5, PN appointed 14 state liaison committee (BPN) chairpersons including Muhyiddin as Johor BPN chair as announced by PN secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin through a statement on his Facebook page.
