Govt has no qualms about revealing CSA details, says Anwar
The prime minister says the agreement was similar to the one signed between the opposition and Ismail Sabri Yaakob's administration.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim indicated that the government is ready to disclose the contents of the confidence and supply agreement (CSA) signed with seven opposition MPs. Speaking at an event in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka, Anwar expressed no reservations about revealing the agreement's details, comparing it to a previous CSA signed in 2021.
Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof, who accompanied Anwar, will raise the matter of public disclosure during tomorrow's Cabinet meeting. This comes after Perikatan Nasional chief whip Takiyuddin Hassan urged the government to make public the CSA, which includes details on allocations, disbursement mechanisms, and two key reforms Putrajaya must implement in exchange for support.
These reforms include capping the prime minister's term and separating the roles of attorney-general and public prosecutor. Anwar criticized PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang for characterizing the CSA as "Dajjal-like" and accusing the government of misusing public funds for political gain, stating that religion should not be undermined in such a way.
