PUTRAJAYA, May 14 — The draft Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on fund allocations to MPs aims to ensure national stability and prevent division, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
He said the details of the draft are being finalised. Once completed, it will be submitted to the Supreme Leadership Council of all political parties, including the opposition, for approval.
“We are still detailing the draft, but I have already provided an overview of its contents. The primary focus is to ensure that all MPs work on developing and restoring the national economy.
“Secondly, it aims to ensure stability to attract as many tourists as possible and avoid issues that can cause division, particularly those related to the 3R (race, religion, royalty),” he told the media after chairing the National Science Council meeting today.
On April 18, Fadillah said the Unity Government Secretariat Supreme Leadership Council had agreed in principle to consider extending allocations to elected representatives from the opposition.
He said a draft MoU would be prepared and presented to the opposition as the next step in the negotiation.
On April 25, Fadillah said the draft MoU was being prepared and would soon be handed over to the opposition for review and negotiation. The primary focus of the draft is to foster shared understanding among all parties to drive national development, with particular emphasis on economic growth and the people’s welfare.
