Bersatu reps to sign CSA-like pact with S’gor govt before state budget
Menteri besar Amirudin Shari says the state government and the opposition are finalising the terms.
Selangor Chief Minister Amirudin Shari announced that Bersatu assemblymen in the state will sign a pact akin to the 2021 confidence and supply agreement between former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and the opposition, ahead of the state budget presentation. The details of the agreement are still being negotiated between the state government and the opposition, according to Amirudin, who also serves as the state Pakatan Harapan chairman.
The Selangor government anticipates tabling its 2027 budget in November. Two days prior, Utusan reported that Bersatu assemblymen were set to meet with the state government in the near future to discuss the pact. The newspaper quoted a Bersatu source stating that the agreement would involve the party's 11 assemblymen, who would later be recognized as government backbenchers.
Amirudin drew parallels to the CSA deal between Ismail and PH, the largest opposition bloc at the time, aimed at fostering political stability and transformation. He emphasized that even without a formal agreement, the opposition assemblymen would continue to receive allocations for their respective constituencies.
