The Socialist Party of Malaysia refuted claims about joining Perikatan Nasional following discussions with chairman Muhyiddin Yassin. Deputy chairman S Arutchelvan explained that the party attended based on its standard practice of participating in political talks when invited. Muhyiddin presented various proposals for opposition party cooperation during the meeting. PSM shared their perspectives but emphasized that no commitment was made to enter PN or form new alliances. The party maintains current political agreements solely with Malaysian United Democratic Alliance and Parti Rakyat Malaysia.
Any future coalition arrangements require approval through the PSM Congress according to party regulations. The organization follows Democratic Centralism principles when making major decisions about partnerships. Yesterday's gathering featured representatives from multiple opposition groups seeking greater parliamentary influence. Notable attendees came from Muda, Parti Pejuang Tanahair, and several smaller political organizations, though PAS leadership remained absent from the discussions.
