Adun Bersatu Selangor dakwa tak dimaklum tentang perjanjian

Selangor state assemblywoman Nurul Syazwani Noh has alleged she was not informed about the cooperative agreement between the Permatang Bersatu representative and the government party. The lawmaker expressed surprise when learning that the discussions had already reached the stage of finalizing the terms of the agreement before the preparation of the Selangor budget was announced.

Syazwani was commenting on statements made yesterday by Pakatan Harapan Selangor chairman Amirudin Shari, who said that the talks involved negotiating terms of a cooperative agreement and would be finalized before the budget announcement. This came after a report in Utusan Malaysia last month claiming that a Bersatu lawmaker was expected to meet with the government party soon to sign a cooperative agreement, involving all 11 Bersatu representatives.

The assemblywoman maintained that Bersatu representatives should have been informed and consulted before any political commitments were made, including support for the government or its budget. She emphasized that cooperative work for the people should not involve surrendering the opposition function to the government. Syazwani stressed that the benefits of cooperation should be discussed with the party conducting the negotiations, as she was not given the opportunity to debate the terms of the agreement.

She stated that she did not require a political agreement to carry out her duties as a representative of the people. If something was beneficial for the people of Permatang, she would cooperate. If something needed to be criticized, she would criticize. Syazwani always cooperated with the state government, agencies, and local authorities to resolve issues faced by her constituents, believing that such cooperation should focus on solving their problems, not on exchanging political beliefs.
