PUTRAJAYA: Four principles in the federal Constitution are among the salient points in the Cooperation Agreement Among Coalitions in the Malaysian Unity Government signed today, said Deputy Prime Minister\u00a0Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
\nThe Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman said all concerns on Islam, Malay special rights, status of Bahasa Melayu and the royal institution were addressed\u00a0in the agreement.
\n“For\u00a0BN, this consensus was translated into a pact\u00a0after an articulation process on matters stipulated in the Constitution led to a common agreement,\u201d he said after the agreement signing ceremony here.
\nPakatan Harapan (PH), BN, Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and\u00a0Parti Warisan (Warisan) today sealed the cooperation agreement in Putrajaya to ensure stability in the Unity Government.
\nThe agreement was signed by the respective secretaries-general –\u00a0Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution of PH, Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir (BN), Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi (GPS), Datuk Masidi Manjun (GRS) and\u00a0Datuk Loretto Padua Jr (Warisan), witnessed by their\u00a0chairmen.
\nThe four coalition chairmen, namely Prime Minister\u00a0Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim of\u00a0PH,\u00a0Ahmad Zahid,\u00a0Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg (GPS), and Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor (GRS), and Warisan president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal also signed the agreement, witnessed by\u00a0their secretaries-general.
\nMeanwhile, Abang Johari, who is Sarawak Premier, said ensuring government stability was the main thrust\u00a0of the agreement, and he was confident the prime minister would help Sarawak resolve its problems, especially in rejuvenating the economy post-COVID-19.
\n“The Sarawak parties subscribed to that. For Malaysia to be stable, that is our top (priority). Therefore Anwar, as the PM, gives views collectively on our behalf. We trust him\u00a0to pursue a\u00a0development agenda.\u00a0
\n“Next year, our economy will not be that good. We need all this effort to help Malaysia regain its position on the economic front,” he added.
\nIn describing the agreement signing as a special moment in the country\u2019s history, Hajiji, who is Sabah Chief Minister, said Sabah truly needed a stable situation and strong unity.
\n“This is especially true in the economic aspects and development in a big state like\u00a0Sabah. This is our objective and I am confident the Unity Government led by the PM\u00a0will be a strong government\u00a0and a government the various races want,\u201d he said.
\nMohd Shafie said the pact would strengthen the political situation in the country.
\n“When there is stability, I am certain the economy will also be stable.
\n“One point in the agreement is Article 9 on the spirit of MA63 (Malaysia Agreement), embedded in this formation of unity government,” he said.
