KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin admits his current position as Opposition Leader is "hanging" following statements that an MP from PAS will helm Perikatan Nasional. Does this mean PAS will determine the Opposition Leader or will PAS take the role? Hamzah reaffirmed his support for Ahmad Samsuri as Perikatan chairman, describing him as a capable leader. Earlier on Tuesday, Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan did not rule out the possibility he could be Opposition Leader. The Opposition Leader leaned into his reputation as a political "operator".
