Confidence and supply pact does not restrict parties’ political decisions, says Adam Adli

MELAKA, Oct 30 — The Confidence and Supply Agreement (CSA) signed between the Federal Government, Bersatu and independent members of Parliament (MPs) yesterday does not bind any party’s political stance or decisions, including ahead of the Melaka State Election on November 14.

Melaka PKR State Leadership Council acting chairman Adam Adli Abd Halim said all parties involved in the agreement remained free to maintain their respective political positions, including performing their roles as the opposition in providing checks and balances in the Dewan Rakyat.

“The agreement is a step towards strengthening the administration and allowing the government to focus on implementing policies and national development.

“This is in line with the spirit of the Madani Government, which remains open to cooperation in the people’s interests, regardless of political differences,” he told a press conference at Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) main operations centre in Bukit Piatu here today.

Yesterday, the Madani Government signed the CSA with six Bersatu MPs led by party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and seven other MPs, including Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.

Adam Adli noted that PH had previously entered into a similar agreement while in opposition during the administration of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Asked whether the agreement would affect PH’s relationship with Bersatu in the Melaka election, where candidates from both sides are expected to compete in four state constituencies, he said PH had no issue with the situation.

“In Melaka, every party is free to uphold its own principles and make its own decisions, and we respect that.

What matters is demonstrating political maturity by placing the people’s interests above everything else,” he said.

Earlier reports indicated that PH and Bersatu candidates could face each other in Ayer Keroh, Kelebang, Gadek and Pengkalan Batu.

At the same press conference, Melaka DAP chairman Khoo Poay Tiong said the party would maintain its allocation of seven state seats despite other PH component parties increasing the number of constituencies they planned to contest.

Yesterday, PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh announced that retired Major Jaimi Dimon would contest the Ayer Limau seat, bringing PKR’s total to 10 seats, up from the nine announced previously.

Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) also named two additional candidates — Aminuddin Abdul Jalil for Sungai Rambai and Junainah Sahat for Taboh Naning.

The additions mean PH will contest 24 seats altogether in the Melaka polls on November 14. — Bernama

马六甲，10月30日讯——联邦政府、土著团结党和独立国会议员昨日签署的《信任与支持协议》（CSA）并不约束任何政党的政治立场或决定，包括在11月14日马六甲州选举之前。

马六甲人民公正党州领导委员会代理主席亚当·阿德利·阿卜杜勒·哈利姆表示，参与该协议的所有各方仍可自由维持各自的政治立场，包括在下议院履行反对党的角色，以提供制衡。

“该协议是加强行政管理、使政府能够专注于政策实施和国家发展的重要一步。”

“这符合马达尼政府的精神，即无论政治分歧如何，都始终愿意为了人民的利益而合作，”他今天在希望联盟（PH）位于武吉比亚图的主要行动中心举行的新闻发布会上说。

昨天，马达尼政府与土著团结党主席丹斯里慕尤丁·亚辛率领的六名土著团结党国会议员以及包括麻坡国会议员赛沙迪·赛阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼在内的其他七名国会议员签署了共同战略协议。

Adam Adli指出，希望联盟（PH）在反对党时期，也就是前首相拿督斯里依斯迈沙比里·雅各布执政期间，曾签署过类似的协议。

当被问及该协议是否会影响希望联盟与土著团结党在马六甲州选举中的关系时（预计双方候选人将在四个州选区展开竞争），他表示希望联盟对此没有异议。

“在马六甲，每个政党都可以自由地坚持自己的原则并做出自己的决定，我们尊重这一点。”

他说：“重要的是要展现政治成熟度，把人民的利益置于一切之上。”

早前有报道指出，希盟和土团党候选人可能会在爱极乐、吉里邦、加德和彭加兰峇都对决。

在同一场新闻发布会上，马六甲民主行动党主席邱培忠表示，尽管希望联盟其他成员党增加了计划参选的选区数量，但该党仍将维持其七个州议席的分配。

昨天，人民公正党秘书长拿督芙兹亚·萨利赫宣布，退役少校贾米·迪蒙将竞选亚依林茂议席，使人民公正党的议席总数从之前宣布的9个增加到10个。

诚信党还提名了另外两名候选人——双溪兰拜的阿米努丁·阿卜杜勒·加利尔和南宁塔博的朱娜娜·萨哈特。

新增席位意味着希望联盟将在11月14日举行的马六甲州选举中总共竞选24个席位。——马新社
