Umno wants federal administration referred to as unity government
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno wants the current administration to continue being referred to as the Malaysia Unity Government instead of Malaysia Madani, its secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said.
The Malaysian Unity Government, known as Umno, has requested that the present administration continue to be called the Malaysia Unity Government rather than the Malaysia Madani government, according to Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, the secretary-general of Umno. While Umno does not object to the concept of Malaysia Madani, Asyraf emphasized the importance of adhering to the terms of the agreement signed by the parties that formed the government.
He clarified that the use of the Malaysia Madani government label, instead of the Malaysia Unity Government as agreed upon, is the primary issue. The agreement, signed by 18 parties, stipulates that the administration should be referred to as the Malaysia Unity Government. The prime minister must consult all parties that make up the government, and the arrangement is distinct from previous governments formed with a single party holding a majority.
Asyraf rejected allegations of betrayal by Umno and Barisan Nasional, stating that the agreement remains valid until the next election. He added that once Parliament or state assemblies are dissolved, political parties are free to form their alliances.
