KUALA KANGSAR: Perak Barisan Nasional was prepared to be in the Opposition but it would have been “stupid” not to take the offer from Pakatan Harapan to jointly form the state government, says Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad.

Saarani, who retained his Kota Tampan seat, said Barisan, with only nine state seats, could not ignore the offer by Pakatan to be a part of the state administration including getting the mentri besar post.
