Barisan Nasional, one of Malaysia's major political coalitions, plans to leave the unity government formation at the time of Parliament's dissolution, coalition chairman Zahid Hamidi announced. The statement clarifies the political timeline for the coalition's continued participation in the current governing arrangement. Zahid emphasised that Barisan Nasional remains dedicated to supporting the unity government in its current phase, with the coalition's withdrawal contingent on the formal dissolution of Parliament. The announcement comes as Malaysian politics continues to navigate the delicate balance of the unity government framework established in recent years. The timing of any parliamentary dissolution remains uncertain, leaving the coalition's exit timeline dependent on political developments in the coming months.
