Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) today indicated its willingness to pursue further negotiations with BN over its application to be one of the coalition's component parties.

PBM secretary-general Nor Hizwan Ahmad noted that BN would require more time to deliberate before reaching a consensus on the admission of new component parties.

Yesterday, BN secretary-general Zambry Abdul Kadir said that PBM’s application, along with five other parties, was still under review.
