Azalina: All 218 MPs get a role in reforms under CSA as AG-PP split, PM term limit need cross-party support

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 — Cross-party cooperation through the Confidence and Supply Agreement (CSA) is important in building parliamentary consensus to advance institutional reforms in the country, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

In this regard, she welcomed Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s support for the implementation of the CSA, as well as his proposal to extend the cooperation to more opposition parties.

She said political differences should not be an obstacle to cooperation for the sake of national stability and the interests of the people, adding that the approach would also provide an avenue for all the existing 218 MPs to play a role in the parliamentary democratic process.

“This is to ensure that the voices of the people represented by their respective Members of Parliament are also involved in determining the direction and future of national institutions through debates and voting in Parliament,” she said in a Facebook post today.

Azalina said the reforms include separating the roles of the Attorney General and the Public Prosecutor, as well as a proposal to limit the Prime Minister’s tenure to 10 years, which require cross-party scrutiny and support as they involve the national interest and amendments to the Federal Constitution.

She said a similar approach to cooperation had previously been implemented when Umno was part of the federal government during the previous term.

Azalina said that as part of the Unity Government, Barisan Nasional (BN) would continue to play a constructive role in maintaining political stability, strengthening democratic institutions and ensuring the country’s administration functions effectively in the interests of the people.

Yesterday, Ahmad Zahid, who is also BN chairman, described the CSA as a positive development in addressing and resolving issues affecting the people.

Last Thursday, the Madani Government signed a CSA with six Bersatu MPs led by its president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, as well as seven other MPs, including Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.

On the same day, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that the agreement was aimed at ensuring the continuity of the government’s administration and the effective implementation of the country’s development agenda, including Budget 2027, in the interests of the people. — Bernama

吉隆坡，11月1日讯——首相署（法律及体制改革）部长拿督斯里阿扎丽娜·奥斯曼·赛义德表示，通过信任与支持协议（CSA）进行跨党派合作，对于建立议会共识、推进国家体制改革至关重要。

在这方面，她欢迎副首相拿督斯里阿末扎希哈米迪博士对实施《共同战略协议》的支持，以及他提出的将合作范围扩大到更多反对党的提议。

她表示，为了国家稳定和人民利益，政治分歧不应成为合作的障碍，并补充说，这种做法也将为所有现有的 218 名议员在议会民主进程中发挥作用提供途径。

“这是为了确保人民的声音，通过各自的国会议员，也能通过议会的辩论和投票，参与决定国家机构的方向和未来，”她今天在Facebook上发帖说。

阿扎利娜表示，改革措施包括将总检察长和公共检察官的职责分开，以及将总理任期限制为 10 年的提议。这些措施涉及国家利​​益和对联邦宪法的修改，因此需要跨党派的审查和支持。

她表示，巫统在上届联邦政府任职期间也曾采取过类似的合作方式。

阿扎丽娜表示，作为团结政府的一部分，国民阵线将继续在维护政治稳定、加强民主制度以及确保国家行政部门有效运作、为人民谋利方面发挥建设性作用。

昨天，国阵主席艾哈迈德·扎希德称，《共同体协议》是解决影响人民的问题的积极进展。

上周四，马达尼政府与由其主席丹斯里慕尤丁·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立场协议。

同日，马来西亚首相拿督斯里安华表示，该协议旨在确保政府执政的连续性，并有效实施国家发展议程，包括2027年财政预算案，以造福人民。——马新社
