Adun Bersatu Selangor dakwa tak dimaklum tentang perjanjian

Selangor Berjaya Bersatu lawmaker Nurul Syazwani Noh has accused the party of failing to inform her about an agreement between the Bersatu Selangor representatives and the government. The lawmaker expressed surprise when she learned that discussions had reached the stage of finalizing the terms of the agreement before the state budget was announced.

She was informed by Pakatan Harapan Selangor's Secretary, Amirudin Shari, that talks were discussing the terms of the cooperation agreement and would be finalized before the budget announcement. This came after a report in Utusan Malaysia earlier this week that a Bersatu lawmaker was expected to meet with the government soon to sign the cooperation agreement, which reportedly involved all 11 Bersatu Selangor members.

Syazwani maintained that Bersatu members should have been informed and consulted beforehand if the agreement bound them to any political commitments, including supporting the government or the budget. She emphasized that cooperation for the benefit of the people was different from surrendering the opposition function to the government.

Syazwani stated that the issue of the benefits of cooperation should be raised with those conducting the discussions, as she was not given the opportunity to discuss the terms of the agreement. She emphasized that she did not need a political agreement to carry out her role as a lawmaker. If something was good for the people of Permatang, she would cooperate; if it needed to be criticized, she would criticize.

She always cooperated with the state government, agencies, and local authorities to solve the problems faced by the people in her constituency. This cooperation is what the people want to see – cooperation to solve their problems, not cooperation that requires a trade of political principles. Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional together formed the Selangor state government, with PH holding 32 seats and Umno taking two seats in the state legislative assembly.
