PKR vice-president Zuraida Kamaruddin said "dibonsaikan" (stymied) was the wrong analogy to describe the Pakatan Harapan leaders’ relationship with Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Syed Husin Ali, one of the founding leaders of PKR following the merger of Parti Keadilan Nasional and Parti Rakyat Malaysia, had questioned whether Harapan leaders had been "dibonsaikan" by Mahathir in his criticism of the coalition on Sunday.
