Kota Kinabalu: Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek on Friday said Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should be worried because there are partners in the Pakatan Rakyat who are unhappy with the latter's leadership.
Instead of Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs switching camps to the opposition, they (Pakatan members) want to quit the opposition alliance, he said, adding they cited the domineering personality of Parti Keadilan Rakyat's (PKR) leadership.
He was commenting on a claim that several MPs from the BN would be joining the opposition no later than Sept 16.
Ahmad Shabery claimed these Pakatan members were ready to negotiate to leave the coalition.
He also said the PKR won in many places not through their hard work but riding on the strength of other components in the opposition alliance.
"No party can shake the Barisan, especially Umno, which possesses solid strength, he said. "We also have close relations with our friends especially in Sabah and Sarawak who realised that based on records, this (BN) is the best friend."
Only the BN is able to unite and provide leadership to society.
On the promise made by Anwar to give more oil royalty to Sabah during the recent elections, he said it was just gimmick.
He said when Anwar was the Federal Finance Minister, the latter had never done anything for Sabah.
