Parliament will meet on Sep 13, the first sitting after Mr Ismail Sabri Yaakob came to power.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Pakatan Harapan opposition coalition has stated that it is “inclined to accept” an offer by Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to carry out parliamentary reforms.: “Pakatan Harapan is inclined to accept the memorandum of understanding to save lives and livelihoods of the people, subject to improvements to the draft which needs to be refined by representatives of both sides before it can be finalised.”overcome the economic recession that has hit our country,” it added.

Political defections of this nature resulted in the fall of the PH government in February 2020, when a number of MPs from PKR, as well as almost all Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia lawmakers, pulled out of the-then ruling coalition. In addition, the parliamentary Opposition Leader will be remunerated and given amenities equivalent to a minister.

The statement added that Friday’s meeting saw the discussion of a number of key matters and specific programmes, with an emphasis on reforms in both the economy and public health sectors to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. They added that presently, only RM8.9 billion was left in the RM65 billion fund to handle the pandemic and extend financial help to the people.

The offer made by Mr Ismail Sabri is similar to that made by his predecessor Muhyiddin Yassin nearly a month ago, when he sought bipartisan support in parliament’s Lower House to survive an impending confidence vote.
