Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has proposed providing constituency development allocations to opposition Members of Parliament, suggesting a model similar to the 2021 confidence and supply agreement. To manage this, Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof has been appointed to lead negotiations with opposition representatives. While the Parliamentary Service Council has the authority to discuss policy matters such as equal allocations and anti-hopping laws, the government has not yet committed to specific policy changes. Anwar Ibrahim has since announced that a Confidence and Supply Agreement (CSA) signed between the MADANI Government, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (BERSATU), and several opposition Members of Parliament serves as a foundation to strengthen political stability. He noted that this mechanism ensures the continuity of administration and allows for the effective implementation of national development agendas, including the 2027 Budget. Anwar clarified that there are no specific conditions imposed on opposition MPs to sign the CSA, describing it as an open understanding that follows established democratic principles. In response to concerns regarding perceived ministerial disagreements, Prime Minister Anwar clarified that differing views between ministries do not signify a government split. He emphasized that all policies must undergo coordination and Cabinet approval under the principle of collective responsibility. This clarification followed disputes between the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development regarding project funding and exhausted allocations for rural road contractors. Specifically, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi expressed frustration over cash flow issues affecting contractors, while the Treasury indicated that certain allocations for rural roads had already been exhausted. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has formally announced the CSA between the MADANI government and several opposition Members of Parliament, including six Bersatu MPs and Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
