KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional (PN) must stop the prolonged confrontation between the states it rules against the federal administration. In response to PN's suggestion of using a different logo and theme for the National Day celebration, PKR Youth said the coalition must not add fuel to the fire and has urged the coalition to withdraw their suggestion.
