  "account": "Domestic trade and cost of living minister Armizan Mohd Ali praised the professionalism and political maturity of his Cabinet colleagues from various parties, despite some heated exchanges among operatives from different government parties. The external observer noted a harmonious, constructive, and professional relationship among the Cabinet members, as they demonstrated a commitment to forming a consensus to ensure a stable government for the country's development and people's wellbeing. This maturity stems from the agreement on the unity government's formation, signed on December 16, 2022. The current situation reflects the evolving political landscape in Malaysia since the end of one-party dominance, requiring all parties to accept the need for cooperation and compromise. Armizan, also an MP for Papar, emphasized that the frequent changes in prime ministers within a single parliamentary term from 2018 to 2022 were not a good formula for sustainable national prosperity. He stressed the importance of balancing a party's political interests with the greater responsibility of ensuring national stability.",
  "summary": "The GRS sec-gen says the Cabinet has remained harmonious and professional despite some government party operatives trading barbs in recent months.",
