Analysts said PN’s poor communication and disjointed messaging reveal a fragile coalition on the verge of splitting. PETALING JAYA : Analysts say Perikatan Nasional (PN) appears to be “heading for a split” following a breakdown in communication discipline between Bersatu and PAS, which have issued conflicting statements over the coalition’s chairmanship. “It creates the perception that there is no genuinely close working relationship between Bersatu and PAS at present,” he said. He said the restructuring would see Bersatu lead the presidential council, while PAS would chair the executive council. However, PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man rejected his claim, saying PAS had only agreed to strengthen the presidential council for the time being.
