“We hope it will be achieved, but even if it is not achieved, we will continue the discussion because the important thing is our strategy (to face the state elections),” he told the media after attending the #KitaSelangor Aidilfitri special incentive to the mosque managements and religious teachers in the state here on Thursday (April 13).
According to him, Barisan, which is now part of the unity government in Selangor has started to move together with Pakatan as a team, especially in preparation for the Unity Government National Convention which will take place on May 14.
