KUALA SELANGOR: The collaboration between Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia and Pakatan Harapan will not work because both parties have different principles in terms of struggles and agenda, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic).

The Umno supreme council member said Parti Pribumi would face problems in the distribution of seats for the coming general election because the other Opposition parties would find it difficult to give up their seats.

"It's not easy for them to unite because each party has its own agenda.

"Maybe, they are sleeping in the same bed but have different dreams," he told reporters after launching the Umno election machinery and Community Development Department for Kuala Selangor parliamentary constituency here Sunday.

Parti Pribumi chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad reportedly said the party intended to join Pakatan Harapan, which comprises DAP, PKR and Parti Amanah Negara.

In another development, Ismail Sabri, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister said Selangor would have its first rural transformation centre (RTC) at Wisma Peladang in Sungai Buloh, Kuala Selangor.

Kuala Selangor MP Datuk Seri Irmohizam Ibrahim said the RTC was expected to be operational by June next year. - Bernama
