PM Anwar: No reason to keep CSA secret, Cabinet to discuss disclosure tomorrow
MELAKA, Nov 5 — The government has no objection to disclosing the contents of the Confidence and Supply Agreement...
Malaysia's Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has stated that there is no need to keep the Confidence and Supply Agreement (CSA) a secret. The agreement, signed between the Unity Government, Bersatu, and independent MPs, was discussed at tomorrow's Cabinet meeting to determine the next steps. Anwar, who also serves as the Finance Minister, explained that the draft agreement's principles are similar to those of a previous pact between Pakatan Harapan and the previous government, which included PAS, Bersatu, and Umno.
He noted that PAS initiated the idea for the agreement, alongside Hamzah Zainudin and several others in the government at the time. Anwar's comments came in response to PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan's call for the government to disclose the agreement's contents. PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang referred to the CSA as a "devilish approach", which Anwar deemed inappropriate.
He emphasized that it is wrong to label someone or a group as devilish, and questioned the inconsistency of his own party members questioning the agreement when they had not even read or thought about it.
