KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin last night chaired the Perikatan Nasional Supreme Council meeting that, among others, touched on several important matters, including preparations for the general election.

In a post on his Facebook page, Muhyiddin said the meeting also agreed to streamline the PN coalition, strengthen cooperation among parties in the PN government and implement immediate programmes to ensure the welfare of the people is well taken care.

“The Perikatan Nasional Supreme Council remains committed to expressing the aspirations of the government and the people as a whole," he said in his posting.

The Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) president said the meeting was attended by PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) president Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, Sabah Progessive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee, Bersatu deputy president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu and other supreme council members.
