  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, October 30 — In a light-hearted jest, Malaysian Investment Development Authority chairman Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz quipped about Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, questioning whether he was more apprehensive about committing to wedding vows with actress Bella Astillah or signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the government. Tengku Zafrul, a senior political advisor to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, shared his question on Instagram, drawing a humorous parallel between the two significant commitments. The post came after the Madani government inked an MoU with Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) and several opposition MPs, including Syed Saddiq. The opposition MPs, despite agreeing to support the Budget and key institutional reforms, will continue to remain in the opposition, according to Tengku Zafrul. He reassured that their respective constituencies would receive equal allocations to benefit the people. Tengku Zafrul emphasized that in politics, disagreements are not necessary for collaboration, especially when it comes to addressing the well-being of constituents. The post was tagged with #TZA and #MadaniBekerja.",
