Govt has no qualms about revealing CSA details, says Anwar

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim affirmed that the Cabinet will deliberate on disclosing the contents of the confidence and supply agreement (CSA) signed with seven opposition MPs. The government is willing to reveal the agreement's details, stating it is comparable to the previous CSA. This was announced after Anwar's participation in an event at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof, who was involved in the signing, will also address the matter in tomorrow's Cabinet meeting.

Earlier, Perikatan Nasional chief whip Takiyuddin Hassan urged the government to publicize the CSA signed by 13 opposition MPs, emphasizing the specifics on funding allocations, disbursement mechanisms, and implementation. The agreement provides opposition MPs with access to constituency development funds that government MPs have enjoyed for the past four years.

It also outlines two primary reforms for Putrajaya to implement in return for their support: capping the prime minister's term and separating the roles of the attorney-general and public prosecutor before the end of the parliamentary term.

Anwar expressed concern over PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's characterization of the CSA as a "Dajjal-like" approach and his claim that the government was using public funds to gain political backing and maintain power. Anwar deemed Hadi's statement inappropriate, arguing that religion should not be trivialized in such a manner.
