CSA tak ikat keputusan politik Ahli Parlimen, kata pemimpin PKR

The Malaysian political landscape witnessed a non-binding Confidence and Coordination Agreement (CSA) between the government and Bersatu, along with independent members of Parliament, on Tuesday. PKR's Deputy President in Malacca, Adam Adli, clarified that the agreement does not bind any party's political decisions or stances, including those in the upcoming Melaka 14 November polls.

PKR's Deputy President in Malacca, Adam Adli, emphasized that all involved parties remain free to make their own decisions, particularly in their roles as opposition figures in the Dewan Rakyat, serving as a check and balance. This move aligns with the spirit of a Madani government that always seeks collaborative work, especially when it involves the interests of the people across party lines, according to Adam at the PKR Leaders' Lounge in Bukit Piatu.

The government signed the CSA with six Bersatu MPs led by President Muhyiddin Yassin and Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman. Adli reminded that Pakatan Harapan and Bersatu had signed similar agreements during the previous opposition government under former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob. Regarding the impact of the CSA on PH-Bersatu cooperation for the Melaka 14 November polls, where they are expected to contest four seats, he asserted that the coalition is not an issue.

In Malacca, each party can freely adhere to its principles and individual decisions, and respect for this is paramount. The primary concern is that they demonstrate mature politics by prioritizing the people's agenda as the top priority. Earlier reports suggested that PH and Bersatu candidates might face off in DUN seats of Ayer Keroh, Kelebang, Gadek, and Pengkalan Batu.

At the media briefing, DAP Malacca Secretary Khoo Poay Tiong stated that the party would still contest seven DUN seats despite the increased number of contested seats within the PH alliance. It was also reported that PKR Secretary General Fuziah Salleh confirmed that Jaimi Dimon would represent the party in Ayer Limau DUN, increasing PKR's contested seats from nine to 10, further solidifying PH's 24 DUN representation in the upcoming Melaka 14 November polls.
