Early on November 24th local time, Malay national unity (UNO ) issued a statement supporting Malays Supreme Head of State Abdullah's decree on the formation of a coalition government. This move has brought Hope Alliance Chairman Anwar as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia one step closer.

According to Singapore's Straits Times on November 24, UMNO's Secretary-General Ahmad Maslan said in a statement that UMNO's Supreme Council "unanimously decided to support the Supreme Head of State" that "let the National Front (led by UMNO) support and join a coalition government not led by the National Union."

Abdullah convened a meeting of rulers attended by the hereditary rulers of Kyushu at 10:30 on November 24 (same as Beijing time). UMNO issued this statement before the meeting. However, this statement has not yet been supported by the National Front and the 30 elected members of the National Front in this election. The National Front is expected to hold a meeting on the morning of the 24th.

According to previous reports, in the 15th Malaysian general election held on November 19, the Hope League and the National League won 82 seats and 73 seats in the lower house of parliament respectively, ranking in the top two, but neither could cross half. The National Front suffered the worst defeat in previous elections, winning only 30 seats. Malaysia's history for the first time, with more than half of the "hanging parliament" appearing, and the formation of a new government has been in a deadlock.

Since neither the Hope League nor the National League could form a government separately, the National Front became the key minority, which was the "king-maker" who could form the government. However, according to Nikkei Asia on November 24, UMNO had previously refused to support the Hope League or the National League.

htmlOn November 22, Malaysia's Supreme Head of State Abdullah said that he would personally select the prime minister because his proposal to allow Anwar to cooperate with National Union President Muhyiddin to form a new government was rejected.
