PN supremo confirms MIC’s application

Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Mahiaddin Yassin has confirmed that MIC applied to join the coalition.

The application approval would be determined during a PN supreme council meeting. All of the PN components have been supportive of MIC joining the bloc.

“We couldn’t convene a PN Supreme Council meeting before this as we were focused on our campaign for the Sabah state election,” he said at a press conference after attending Urimai’s convention at IDCC here today.

“I had told the MIC president and secretary-general that we will discuss the application in detail after the Sabah polls.

“In principle, all the PN parties welcome MIC, but the final decision will be made by the PN Supreme Council.”

The MIC’s 79th convention had decided to defer its decision after voting overwhelmingly to leave BN.

The Indian party would be mapping out its political chart during its central working committee meeting in December.
