BENTONG — The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has reiterated its unwavering commitment to Barisan Nasional (BN), saying its loyalty is anchored on principles rather than political convenience. President Datuk Dr Loga Mohan said the party never abandoned BN even when many component allies withdrew following the turbulent political climate in recent years.
He recalled that PPP had made a firm and difficult decision to remove its former president who rejected BN in 2018, proving that the party prioritises coalition unity over individual leadership. He stressed that PPP’s long-standing commitment reflects its belief that BN remains a crucial pillar of political stability in Malaysia.
“PPP is not a party that walks away in times of defeat or difficulty. We stay because we believe in BN’s purpose and the need for a stable coalition for Malaysia’s multi-racial society,” he said during the PPP Pahang 2025 Convention.
Loga Mohan added that PPP’s role is not merely symbolic, but one rooted in responsibility and resilience. He said PPP would continue to support BN’s efforts while ensuring the coalition remains relevant and capable of serving the people.
Regarding future elections, he said PPP will carefully evaluate the political reality before finalising its participation in GE16. The party will neither threaten nor pressure BN for parliamentary seats, but will contest only where it is confident of performing effectively and contributing positively to the constituency.
On national policy, Loga Mohan highlighted concerns about the current education system, stating that it no longer plays as strong a role in nation-building as it did during the early independence era. He proposed the formation of a Royal Commission of Inquiry to reassess the structure, direction and unity-building role of Malaysia’s education framework.
He concluded that PPP’s continued cooperation with BN is a testament to its discipline, principle-driven politics, and commitment to national unity. The party, he said, will remain resilient in supporting policies that benefit all Malaysians while upholding political stability.
