Muhyiddin: CSA has nothing to do with possible Bersatu-PH pact for Melaka polls

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the confidence and supply agreement (CSA) signed with the federal government today has nothing to do with a possible electoral pact with Pakatan Harapan (PH) for the Melaka polls, Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported.

“That is a separate question. That has nothing to do with (the agreement) here,” he was quoted as telling reporters after the signing at Parliament.

According to the news portal, Muhyiddin was responding to a question on whether Bersatu would now form an electoral pact with PH in Melaka.

FMT reported that speculation of a tie-up emerged after leaders from both sides attended a closed-door dinner in Melaka on September 28, though the matter has faced pushback within PH.

Muhyiddin also said the CSA was separate from a similar agreement being sought between Bersatu and the PH-led Selangor government, the report said.

“That is another matter. This agreement is between the federal government, represented by the prime minister, and MPs representing my party and the other parties involved,” he said.

According to FMT, the CSA involved six Bersatu MPs and Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman. The MPs are seeking a limit on the prime minister’s tenure and the separation of the roles of the attorney-general and public prosecutor before the end of the government’s term.

They also want the same constituency development allocations that government backbenchers currently receive.

In return, the seven opposition MPs will support Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s administration until the end of the parliamentary term, as well as Budget 2027, the news portal reported.

The six Bersatu MPs who signed are Muhyiddin (Pagoh), Datuk Radzi Jidin (Putrajaya), Ali Biju (Saratok), Datuk Mohd Suhaimi Abdullah (Langkawi), Nazri Abu Hassan (Merbok) and Azman Nasrudin (Padang Serai).

FMT reported that six former Bersatu MPs, who were sacked in 2024 for declaring support for the government, also signed the deal. Muhyiddin said their signing was merely a formality as they had already expressed support for the prime minister.

He said Bersatu would remain in the opposition and continue to provide checks and balances despite the agreement.

Muhyiddin added that the CSA is expected to remain in force until Parliament is dissolved, but could be terminated if either side failed to honour its commitments.

Separately, Syed Saddiq told FMT the CSA must lead to legislation guaranteeing fair and equal constituency allocations for all MPs, rather than benefiting only those who signed it.

He said the agreement specified that allocations for MPs on both sides must be equal, although the exact amounts had not been disclosed.

吉隆坡，10月29日讯——据《今日自由马来西亚》（FMT）报道，土著团结党主席丹斯里慕尤丁表示，今天与联邦政府签署的信任与支持协议（CSA）与希望联盟（PH）就马六甲州选举可能达成的选举协议无关。

“那是另一个问题，与这里的（协议）无关。”据报道，他在议会签字后告诉记者。

据新闻门户网站报道，穆希丁是在回答有关土著团结党是否会在马六甲与希望联盟结成选举联盟的问题时做出上述表态的。

FMT报道称，9月28日，双方领导人在马六甲出席了一次闭门晚宴，之后便出现了有关双方结盟的猜测，尽管此事在希望联盟内部遭到了抵制。

报道称，穆希丁还表示，CSA 与土著团结党和希望联盟领导的雪兰莪州政府之间正在寻求的类似协议是分开的。

“那是另一回事。这项协议是联邦政府（由总理代表）与代表我所在政党和其他相关政党的议员之间达成的，”他说。

据FMT报道，此次“宪法修正案”涉及六名土著团结党国会议员和麻坡国会议员赛沙迪·赛阿都拉曼。这些议员要求在政府任期结束前限制首相任期，并要求将总检察长和检察官的职责分开。

他们还希望获得与政府后座议员目前享有的相同的选区发展拨款。

据新闻门户网站报道，作为回报，这七名反对党议员将支持首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣的政府，直至本届国会任期结束，并支持2027年财政预算案。

签署的六名土团党国会议员分别是慕尤丁（巴莪）、拿督拉兹吉丁（布城）、阿里比朱（萨拉托克）、拿督莫哈末苏海米阿卜杜拉（浮罗交怡）、纳兹里阿布哈山（梅尔博）和阿兹曼纳斯鲁丁（巴东士乃）。

据FMT报道，六名因公开支持政府而被2024年开除党籍的前土著团结党国会议员也签署了该协议。慕尤丁表示，他们的签署只是走个形式，因为他们此前已经表达了对首相的支持。

他表示，尽管达成了协议，土著团结党仍将留在反对党阵营，继续发挥制衡作用。

穆希丁补充说，《中美协议》预计将一直有效，直到国会解散，但如果任何一方未能履行其承诺，该协议可能会终止。

另外，赛义德·萨迪克告诉FMT，CSA必须促成立法，以保证所有议员都能获得公平和平等的选区分配，而不是仅仅让签署该协议的人受益。

他表示，该协议明确规定双方议员的拨款必须相等，但具体数额尚未公布。
