  "account": "Assistant: Mohd Rafiq Mohd Abdullah, Selangor Bersatu Deputy President, informed those critiquing his party's decision to cooperate with and support the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government that such collaboration was not new and that the Barisan Nasional (BN) had also signed a similar agreement. He stressed that the decision was made through the Bersatu Political Office and urged Adun (State Assembly Members) to fulfill their role as party members in adherence to the leadership's objectives. Rafiq emphasized that party members, regardless of whether they represent the people as representatives or members of the Parliament, are bound by the party's decisions and directives. If they disagree, they may choose to leave; the party's decision is not personal, he clarified, as quoted in Utusan Malaysia. Adun Kuang also noted that the collaboration was not a novel matter, and Barisan Nasional had also cooperated with PH to form a unity government. Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari disclosed last week that the Bersatu state lawmaker would cooperate with the state government before the Selangor budget was presented, with conditions now being finalized. This announcement came amid escalating tensions between PH and BN, two key allies in both the federal and Selangor governments. The move was criticized by Bersatu Adun Permatang Nurul Syazwani Noh, who stated that the party member was not adequately informed about the agreement. The Permatang Adun, who disagreed with Bersatu leadership, said she had no issue working with the state government if it benefited the people, but the opposition role in ensuring a fair and balanced process must continue. Meanwhile, Selangor Bersatu Communications Chief Noorazley Yahya affirmed that the Bersatu Adun would continue to serve as the opposition, carrying out the critical functions of oversight and balance, even if the collaboration was imposed by the 11-party Political Office. He confirmed that the decision was not politically motivated, as it only supports Amirudin and the state government. \"We are not joining PH. Our support has long been in motion before both sides opened the door for dialogue, aiming to ensure the welfare of the people,\" Noorazley stated.",
