MIPP president P Punithan speaking to reporters before the Perikatan Nasional party presidents meeting at Muhyiddin Yassin’s residence in Kuala Lumpur. MIPP president P Punithan, who arrived at 8.21pm, told reporters that the gathering was a “pre-council meeting” ahead of the PN Supreme Council meeting to discuss the way forward for the coalition. Tonight’s meeting was called by Muhyiddin not long after a PN Supreme Council meeting was also called for tonight. The PN Supreme Council meeting was supposed to confirm Muhyiddin’s resignation as coalition chairman, which he relinquished on Jan 1, and appoint his successor. Tonight’s meeting is expected to see the PN party presidents discuss restructuring the coalition and amending its constitution.
