Jakarta – The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has suggested that being part of a government coalition and the opposition is much the same, following reports that many of its members have called for the party to pull out of the coalition should one of its ministers fall victim to a Cabinet reshuffle.

"We've had two experiences - one as an opposition and one as a coalition member – and we think that they are more or less the same," PKS secretary-general Anis Matta said on Friday, as quoted by kompas.com.

Anis added that the party refused to get drawn into hypothetical situations, as the reshuffle itself may not even take place. "We are considering many options. There may not even be a reshuffle. As long as there is no inauguration, there is no reshuffle," Anis said.

PKS held a meeting on Friday afternoon at Hotel Sahid Jaya in Jakarta to hear party members' aspirations.
