KUALA LUMPUR: The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Transformation and Political Stability between the Federal government and Pakatan Harapan (PH) will remain in force until Parliament is dissolved, says Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa.
\nHe said, however,\u00a0that it was up to the parties who signed the agreement\u00a0to review the matter.
\nAccording to Annuar,\u00a0the existing MoU did not have an expiry date, but it was noted under Article 3(1) that the MoU was effective from the date it was signed until Parliament was dissolved.
\n“… as far as the existing MoU is concerned, it still remains in effect, only the confusion arises because there is a clause in the MoU which states that the government will not propose the dissolution of Parliament before July 31.
\n“So, there will be no motion to dissolve Parliament until the end of this month (July). If after this month…it is up to the Prime Minister and the government (to decide),” he told reporters during a press conference at the Parliament building today.
\nAnnuar was asked to comment on UMNO secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan’s statement that UMNO was firm in its stance on not extending\u00a0the duration of the MoU between the government and PH.
\nAnnuar said the MoU did not involve the party, and was signed\u00a0between PH and the Prime Minister to maintain political stability.
\nHe added that the MoU was not only about the dissolution of Parliament, but also covered various other matters agreed upon by\u00a0the Prime Minister and the Opposition.
\nOn Sept 13, 2021, the Federal Government and PH inked an MoU to establish bipartisan cooperation on fighting COVID-19, transforming the administration, Parliamentary reforms,\u00a0ensuring\u00a0judicial independence,\u00a0the Malaysia Agreement\u00a01963 (MA63) and the formation of a steering committee.
\nMeanwhile, when asked about the proposed appointment of a\u00a0deputy prime minister, he said there was no need to think about the position at this point in\u00a0time, as it was\u00a0better to focus on the problems of the people due to the\u00a0rising costs of living.
\n“We (must) continue to work as a team and it would be even better if the Opposition also cooperated in maintaining stability so that we can function as a government,\u201d he added.
