“BN’s spirit remains, any negotiations involving seats will be discussed together.
“In yesterday’s BN Supreme Council meeting, it was also decided that the matter will be discussed amicably with the BN or PH (Pakatan Harapan) coalition,“ he said.
He told this to reporters at an Aidilfitri event organised by Ipoh Timor MP Howard Lee and Tebing Tinggi assemblyman Dr Aziz Bari.
