Muhyiddin discusses united opposition front with 11 party leaders, without PAS
He met with leaders from Gerakan, Pejuang, Urimai, the Malaysian Indian People's Party, Parti Sosialis Malaysia, and Malaysian United Democratic Alliance with plans to form a united opposition front.
But one element did not escape the attention of observers. There was not a single PAS representative in the meeting.
The report stated that Muhyiddin aims to strengthen the opposition's check-and-balance role in and out of Parliament.
'The formation of this cross-party coalition is intended to strengthen the check-and-balance role of opposition parties both inside and outside Parliament.
'All those present gave very positive feedback on this proposal,' he said in a Facebook post.
Muhyiddin plans to bring their views to the next Perikatan Nasional Supreme Council meeting. This meeting comes after calls for some in Bersatu to replace Muhyiddin with deputy leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zaidnuddin.
A Bersatu division on July 7 approved a motion for party member Hamzah to take over as party president, with Muhyiddin taking on an advisory role.
Port Dickson Bersatu division deputy chief Akkil Aizat Othman said the present leadership lineup has failed to address issues experienced by Malaysians.
But in June, Hamzah had reportedly denied any rift within Perikatan Nasional and its lynchpin, Bersatu, saying critics were merely trying to divide the Opposition pact.
In an interview with Mingguan Malaysia, Hamzah denied any move to oust Muhyiddin from leading the pact and party. — July 19, 2025

Malaysia, Singapore explore GovTech, housing, public sector reform
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia and Singapore are now exploring strategic cooperation in three main areas – GovTech, public housing and public sector reform – to strengthen public service delivery. Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar said these were the main areas of collaboration identified during his three-day official working visit to Singapore last Friday. "We want to learn from Singapore. Firstly, in regard to GovTech, as they have already implemented it, while we are in the process of launching our own. "Secondly, their affordable housing through the Singapore Housing Board. And thirdly, we want to learn about reforms in the public service," he said. He was speaking to reporters after launching the Association of Former Students of Mara Junior Science Colleges (Ansara) Sports Carnival 2025 here today. Shamsul Azri said Singapore welcomed the cooperation and exchange of best practices between the two countries to improve the quality of public service. "Singapore welcomed our proposals… we also had sessions with them to discuss strategic cooperation between the Malaysian government and the Singaporean government," he added. Earlier, in his speech, he urged Malaysians to adopt a healthy lifestyle through sports and good nutrition. Citing Singapore as an example, he said their average life expectancy is 84 years, compared to about 73 to 74 years in Malaysia. "We must remember that prevention is better than cure. To care is better than to cure," he said. – BERNAMA

Malaysia and Singapore boost ties in GovTech, housing, and public sector reform
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia and Singapore are deepening cooperation in three key areas – GovTech, public housing, and public sector reforms – to improve public service efficiency. The initiative follows discussions during Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar's three-day working visit to Singapore. Shamsul Azri highlighted Singapore's expertise in GovTech as a model for Malaysia, which is in the early stages of implementation. 'We want to learn from Singapore, especially in GovTech, where they have already made progress. We are still launching our own system,' he said. Affordable housing was another focus, with Malaysia keen to adopt best practices from Singapore's Housing Board. 'Their public housing system is efficient, and we aim to replicate that success,' he added. The third area of collaboration is public sector reform. Shamsul Azri noted Singapore's openness to sharing knowledge. 'Singapore welcomed our proposals, and we held productive discussions on strengthening government cooperation,' he said. Speaking at the Sports Carnival of the Alumni Association of MRSM Malaysia (ANSARA Malaysia), Shamsul Azri also emphasized the importance of healthy living. Citing Singapore's higher life expectancy of 84 years compared to Malaysia's 73-74 years, he urged Malaysians to adopt better lifestyle habits. 'Prevention is better than cure. Taking care of health early is crucial,' he said. - Bernama
