(Kuala Lumpur, 11th) — Following the official resignation of Tan Sri Muhyiddin as the Perikatan Nasional (PN) Chairman, Deputy PN Chairman and PAS President Tan Sri Hadi Awang has called for an urgent meeting of the PN Supreme Council to ensure the continued functioning of PN's administration.
In a statement on Friday, he said that as PAS President, he had received Muhyiddin’s resignation letter as PN Chairman on December 30 last year, and that the resignation had taken effect from January 1 this year.
“PAS respects and accepts Muhyiddin's decision, and we extend the highest gratitude for all the services and contributions he made during his leadership of PN.”
“In order to ensure the continuity of PN’s administrative system, as the Deputy PN Chairman, I believe it is necessary to promptly comply with the provisions of Clause 8.3(1)(b) of the PN Charter, that is, to convene an urgent meeting of the PN Supreme Council to receive and confirm the PN Chairman’s resignation, and to appoint a new PN Chairman.”
Hadi Awang also said that since the effective date of the resignation has surpassed 10 days, he hopes that this matter will receive the attention of the Supreme Council, and that appropriate action will be taken as soon as possible.
Previously, due to the crisis in the Perlis state administration, relations between Bersatu and PAS had become strained, and Muhyiddin had announced on December 30 last year that he was resigning as PN Chairman.
