MIC Stays with BN, Says Zambry

In a recent press briefing, Zambry Abdul Khalid, the chief minister of Perak, confirmed that the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) will continue to sit with the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition for the time being. The party has not submitted any formal notice indicating a shift to Perikatan Nasional (PN), and Zambry stressed that until such paperwork arrives, MIC’s parliamentary and state-level alliances remain unchanged.

For voters and investors watching Malaysia’s political landscape, the decision means no immediate reshuffle of power blocs, keeping policy continuity and stability in areas where MIC holds influence, particularly in the north.

The clarification averts speculation about a sudden realignment that could destabilise coalition negotiations ahead of upcoming state elections, ensuring that legislative agendas and development projects linked to BN remain on track.
