  "account": "Selangor Chief Minister Amirudin Shari announced that Bersatu assemblymen in the state will sign a pact akin to the 2021 confidence and supply agreement between former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Pakatan Harapan before the state budget is presented. The terms are still being finalized between the state government and the opposition, according to Amirudin, who serves as the Pakatan Harapan chairman for Selangor. The Selangor government is slated to present its 2027 budget in November.\n\nA report by Utusan Malaysia indicated that the opposition's 11 assemblymen from Selangor are expected to meet the state government soon to deliberate on the pact. These assemblymen would subsequently be classified as government backbenchers. Amirudin drew parallels between this understanding and the agreement between Ismail and Pakatan Harapan, stating that they would learn from the lessons of the 2021 CSA between PH and Ismail. He emphasized that even without a formal agreement, the opposition assemblymen would still receive allocations for their respective constituencies.",
