Bersatu signs confidence and supply pact with Madani govt, says MPs to get same allocations as govt backbenchers

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — Bersatu's President, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, announced that the party has signed a confidence and supply agreement with the Madani government, committing its support for Budget 2027. This agreement allows Bersatu's MPs to receive the same constituency development allocations as government backbenchers, according to The Star.

The party's president stated that the deal also includes discussions on institutional reforms, such as limiting the Prime Minister's tenure to two terms and separating the Attorney General's powers. In exchange for this support, the government will provide the same financial allocations to Bersatu MPs as it does to government MPs.

This agreement aims to create stability in the country, allowing the government to focus on addressing critical issues like the economy and living costs. Muhyiddin emphasized that the opposition remains committed to its role in providing checks and balances, despite signing the agreement. If either side breaches the agreement, the terms state that the party concerned can take action, potentially leading to the termination of the agreement.
