Takiyuddin: Perikatan not part of Bersatu MPs’ CSA, won’t sign deal just for allocations

MELAKA, Nov 2 — Perikatan Nasional (PN) was not involved in negotiations for the confidence-and-supply agreement (CSA) signed by six Bersatu MPs with the federal government and will not enter such a deal merely to secure constituency allocations, its secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said.

Utusan Malaysia reported today that Takiyuddin said the agreement was a decision by the lawmakers involved and did not represent PN’s official position as an opposition bloc.

“The CSA was their own choice as MPs. Coincidentally, those who joined the CSA are from groups that are not actively involved in PN, namely Bersatu itself, former Bersatu members who previously switched parties, and Muda,” he told Utusan Malaysia .

“So, PN was not involved in the negotiations or the signing. We were not involved,” he added.

Six Bersatu MPs led by party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin signed the CSA on October 29 alongside Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and six former Bersatu MPs who now sit as independents.

Under the agreement, the participating Bersatu MPs agreed to support Budget 2027, while the government agreed to provide them with constituency development allocations equal to those received by government MPs.

The agreement also covers proposed institutional reforms, including limiting the prime minister’s tenure to two terms and separating the roles of the Attorney-General and Public Prosecutor.

Takiyuddin also told Utusan Malaysia that Bersatu’s decision to use its own logo in the November 14 Melaka state election had neither been formally communicated to PN nor received the coalition’s approval.

He said PN’s constitution allows component parties to contest under their own logos with the coalition’s consent, adding that PN was examining possible disciplinary matters involving Bersatu.

Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali had earlier confirmed that the party would use its own logo in the state election, saying the decision had been approved by Muhyiddin and communicated to the Election Commission.

Separately, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said welcomed proposals to expand the CSA to other opposition parties, saying broader cross-party cooperation could help build parliamentary consensus for institutional reforms.

PKR information chief Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil, meanwhile, responded to criticism of the CSA from PAS by pointing out that Malaysia’s previous cross-party agreement was signed in 2021 when PAS was part of the federal Cabinet.

马六甲，11月2日讯——国民联盟（PN）秘书长拿督斯里达基尤丁·哈桑表示，国民联盟并未参与土著团结党六名国会议员与联邦政府签署的信任与支持协议（CSA）的谈判，也不会仅仅为了确保选区分配而达成此类协议。

《马来西亚前锋报》今天报道称，塔基尤丁表示，该协议是相关议员的决定，并不代表国民联盟作为反对党的官方立场。

“加入CSA是他们作为国会议员自己的选择。巧合的是，加入CSA的人都来自不积极参与国民联盟的团体，例如土著团结党本身、以前转投其他政党的土著团结党前成员以及青年民主联盟，”他告诉《马来西亚前锋报》。

“所以，PN没有参与谈判或签约。我们没有参与，”他补充道。

由党主席丹斯里慕尤丁领导的六名土团党国会议员于10月29日与麻坡国会议员赛沙迪和六名现为独立人士的前土团党国会议员签署了CSA。

根据协议，参与的土著团结党国会议员同意支持 2027 年财政预算案，而政府则同意向他们提供与政府国会议员所获得的相同的选区发展拨款。

该协议还涵盖了拟议的体制改革，包括将总理任期限制为两届，以及将总检察长和公共检察官的职责分开。

塔基尤丁还告诉《马来西亚前锋报》，土著团结党决定在11月14日马六甲州选举中使用自己的标志，既没有正式通知国民联盟，也没有获得该联盟的批准。

他表示，国民联盟的章程允许成员党在获得联盟同意的情况下使用自己的标志参选，并补充说，国民联盟正在调查土著团结党可能存在的纪律问题。

土著团结党总秘书拿督斯里阿兹敏阿里早前已确认，该党将在州选举中使用自己的标志，并表示该决定已获得慕尤丁的批准，并已传达给选举委员会。

另外，首相署（法律及体制改革）部长拿督斯里阿扎丽娜·奥斯曼·赛义德对将跨党派合作机制扩展到其他反对党的提议表示欢迎，称更广泛的跨党派合作有助于在议会中就体制改革达成共识。

与此同时，人民公正党新闻主任拿督斯里法米·法兹尔回应了伊斯兰党对跨党派协议的批评，指出马来西亚上一次签署跨党派协议是在2021年，当时伊斯兰党还是联邦内阁成员。
