Johor Pakatan members showing their solidarity at a Press conference in Johor Baru today and called on the national level to do the same as the focus of the Opposition coalition is the rakyat and not on personal whims.
However, they believed the Selangor political crisis will soon be over and a new chapter will soon begin which will see an even stronger coalition.
Pas is also gearing up for its 60th annual general meeting, which the party calls a Muktamar (Arabic term). It is the 1st time, the Muktamar is held in Johor which is also coincidentally, Johor Pas' 60th anniversary. A Muktamar is normally only held in states governed by the Islamic party.
The Muktamar will see the attendance of international participants and there will be cultural performances throughout the three-day gathering beginning Sept 18, to be held at Parit Salleh Ros in Parit Raja, Batu Pahat.
There will also be other gatherings in the IOI Resort in Kulaijaya (Sept 17); Dewan Choon Moi, Kota Tinggi (Sept 16 and 17) and Pulai Springs Resort, Johor Baru (Sept 17).
On Sept 18 at 9am in the gathering at Pairt Salleh Ros, the party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang will lay down all its strategies for the year.
Meanwhile, on another matter, Pakatan Rakyat called for Malaysians driving a Singapore-registered car into the republic to be exempted from Vehicle Entry Permit charges, which will be implemented next year on foreign-registered vehicles.
Johor opposition leader Dr Boo Cheng Hau said the locals head to the republic to work from 5am to about 9pm, and they are contributing to the state's economy when they bring the money back to spend. Dr Boo said the steps taken by the government to impose VEP charges and toll hike was not rakyat-friendly and would add to the people's burden.
On time limit parking which the MBJB is proposing, Pakatan Rakyat says that it could work to free up parking congestion in the city but also called for stage bus services to be upgraded, namely, to provide services to more housing estates.
