PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has hit out at Perikatan Nasional for kicking up a fuss over the draft MoU on constituency allocations for opposition MPs, comparing it to PH’s handling of a similar deal when it was the opposition.

In a Facebook post today, Saifuddin said government representatives from Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s administration had met PH’s representatives to present its draft.

The coalition then brought the matter to its presidential council and provided its feedback, he said.



Putrajaya then reviewed the comments before the two sides negotiated until they came to an agreement.

In September 2021, Ismail and PH leaders signed the MoU agreeing to work together to help bolster economic recovery and restore political stability while the government managed the Covid-19 pandemic.

The MoU also stipulated equal allocations to all MPs.

Saifuddin said the process was orderly.

“The MoU this time round? They (the opposition) only received a draft and they are kicking up a fuss.

“Deputy prime minister Fadillah (Yusof) is right in saying that since they (PN) chose to speak to the media, there is no need for negotiations,” he said.



On Sunday, opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin announced that PN had unanimously rejected the draft MoU, claiming it went against the Federal Constitution.

Hamzah said the draft violated the constitution by including conditions that touched on the special position of the Malays and Bumiputeras, and stipulations that allegedly went against traditional, cultural and moral values.

On Tuesday, PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin singled out a clause that purportedly prohibits discussing issues related to race, religion and royalty (3Rs).

He said it was aimed at restricting the MPs’ freedom to voice their constituents’ concerns, especially on such issues.
