Dr Zaliha: New confidence and supply pact to strengthen political stability, give assurance Budget 2027 and reforms can proceed

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 — The signing of a Confidence and Supply Agreement (CSA) between the Unity Government, Bersatu and several independent Members of Parliament yesterday marks a significant step towards strengthening political stability and ensuring continuity in the nation’s administration.

Sekijang MP Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the agreement provided greater assurance that the economic development agenda, implementation of Budget 2027 and institutional reforms could proceed in a more orderly manner.

“In an increasingly challenging global economic environment, political stability and policy certainty are essential to maintaining investor confidence and safeguarding the well-being of the people.

“More interestingly, at a time when certain quarters remain intent on political manoeuvring to undermine the government, today’s development proves that political differences need not hinder cooperation in the national interest,” she said in a Facebook post.

Dr Zaliha, who is also the Madani Government Backbenchers Club (BBC) chairman, expressed hope that the move would allow all MPs to focus on their respective responsibilities and ensure that approved policies and allocations genuinely benefit the people.

She stressed that political stability was not merely about who held power, but also about ensuring that the country could continue moving forward without its economic progress being hampered by political power struggles.

The Madani Government yesterday signed a CSA with six Bersatu MPs led by party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, along with seven other lawmakers, including Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman. — Bernama

吉隆坡，10月30日讯——昨天，团结政府、土著团结党和几位独立国会议员签署了信任与支持协议（CSA），这标志着在加强政治稳定和确保国家行政连续性方面迈出了重要一步。

“在全球经济环境日益严峻的背景下，政治稳定和政策确定性对于维持投资者信心和保障人民福祉至关重要。

“更有趣的是，在某些势力仍然执意进行政治操纵以破坏政府之际，今天的进展证明，政治分歧并不一定会阻碍为了国家利益而进行的合作，”她在脸书上发帖说。
