Perikatan confirms Solaris Dutamas HQ shut after lease ended, denies claims of unpaid rent
KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 — Perikatan Nasional's (PN) headquarters in Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur has been closed following the expiry of its two-year lease in April, the coalition's secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali has confirmed. Azmin said the decision not to renew the lease was reached through mutual agreement between the landlord and tenant, and was approved by PN's top leadership. 'This matter was informed to and agreed upon by the PN top leadership,' he was quoted saying by Sinar Harian. 'Nonetheless, the administration and operations of the PN headquarters continue as usual, handled by officers and staff at an unofficial location, while a new premises is being prepared.' He also criticised media reports claiming the closure was due to unpaid rent dating back to March, calling them unfounded and irresponsible. Meanwhile, Selangor PN secretary Dr Afif Bahardin said the coalition remains operational despite being without a physical office for now. 'We didn't shut down [operations], but the [rental] contract has ended. We are in the middle of finding a new location to turn into an office,' he told Malaysiakini. He said meetings are ongoing and there is no issue of the party ceasing operations. The Solaris Dutamas office had served as the venue for PN Supreme Council meetings since the coalition was formed in 2020. PN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin was previously quoted saying he was unaware of the specific circumstances of the closure, stating that such matters were under Azmin's purview.

PN's headquarters closed since March, says insider
Claims have been circulating that Perikatan Nasional no longer maintains a functioning office in Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur. (Wikipedia pic) PETALING JAYA : Perikatan Nasional's headquarters in the upscale area of Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur, has reportedly been closed since March. According to a party source, the party had stopped paying rental for the office, where the coalition's Supreme Council had held its meetings since PN was formed in 2020. Asked about the matter, Bersatu's information chief, Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, said queries should be directed to the coalition's secretary-general, Azmin Ali. 'That matter is related to administrative issues. You may refer to Azmin for further information,' he told FMT. FMT has sought comment from Azmin and PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan. Tun Faisal denied another claim by the party source that no meetings of the PN top brass had been held since the party's leadership reshuffle last year due to 'internal tensions'. He said the PN Supreme Council had convened at least twice this year. 'There were leadership meetings before the Ayer Kuning by-election (in April) and also when Radzi Jidin was appointed as PN information chief,' he said. The source had claimed that PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin and Azmin were attempting to avoid calling for a Supreme Council meeting in the face of pressure from PAS to restructure the coalition's leadership. PAS is said to be pushing for the presidents of PN member parties to relinquish their executive roles, and for them to form an advisory council instead. Under this proposal, Hamzah Zainudin, the parliamentary opposition leader and Bersatu deputy president, would be made PN chairman while his number two would be one of the deputy presidents of the other parties. Last week, Utusan Malaysia quoted Hamzah as dismissing talk that he was moving to oust Muhyiddin as Bersatu president. He also described the rumours as 'nonsensical stories' spread by outsiders seeking to divide Bersatu and PN.
