PETALING JAYA: Ahead of the 2pm deadline given to the different coalitions, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein is standing his ground on what he believes to be the right way forward.
"There is a lot of speculation right now about what is happening. In any formula or negotiation, my stance is clear and I will not compromise, " he said in a Facebook post on Tuesday (Nov 22) afternoon.
If there is still no mutual understanding and decision, said the Defence Minister, it is better for Barisan Nasional to play the role of the opposition and that he is ready for that scenario.
"No matter what happens, I am loyal to Umno then, now and forever, and I will work hard to restore Umno and BN with other friends," he added.
On Nov 20, the Sembrong MP said Barisan must not cooperate with Pakatan Harapan to form the government.
He added that the people had made their choice in the 15th General Election (GE15) which must be respected.
