KUALA LUMPUR – Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil expressed his disappointment over the police report lodged by Perikatan Nasional (PN) Youth against the cooperation agreement between government party leaders.
He also said that their actions were an affront against and a form of disrespect towards the decision of the Malay rulers, by alleging that the agreement engineered by the unity government was an “illegal pact”.
“We need to remember that this unity government was established on the advice of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.
“...PAS in the previous administration has also shown such disloyal behaviour towards His Majesty…so I really think that PN Youth has really been influenced by such antics,” he said when met by Bernama at the 2022 World Cup Final viewing programme at Ecopark Sports Complex, Pantai Dalam here tonight.
Fahmi, who is also PKR information chief, also explained that the unity government is not about holding important positions in the government, but rather aims to bring stability, solve the people’s problems, and drive the country’s economic growth.
“Right from the start, Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) had extended his hand in friendship to invite PN to form the government together, but since they refused, they should serve as the opposition loyally to His Majesty.
“I feel they should consider this matter properly, stop causing such disputes, and not be so ill-mannered,” Fahmi said.
PN Youth chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari had been reported to have lodged a police report about an “illegal pact” between ruling party leaders relating to the cooperation agreement, which he claimed had stifled and damaged democracy. – Bernama, December 19, 2022
