PETALING JAYA: Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin still has his respect despite the two being on opposite sides of the political divide.
Syed Saddiq said he is a firm believer of bipartisanship and that it is now time for both sides to focus on serving the people.
“Even though we are in different political parties, my respect for Muhyiddin remains. We must respect both our comrades and adversaries,” he said in a Facebook post.
He also shared a selfie he took with Muhyiddin at a recent meeting, saying that they spent two hours “catching up on life after the elections”.
According to Syed Saddiq, the Bersatu president was also his constituent in Muar.
“We need a strong and stable government with an effective opposition to turbocharge Malaysia forward. Time to focus on rebuilding Malaysia,” he said.
Syed Saddiq previously led Bersatu’s Youth wing before he left the party following the Sheraton Move and the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in which he served as youth and sports minister. He later formed Muda.
Before GE15, Muda formed a pact with PH to avoid any clashes between its candidates.
Syed Saddiq retained the Muar seat by a majority of 1,345 votes in a three-cornered fight against candidates from PN and Barisan Nasional.
