KOTA BARU – Perikatan Nasional (PN) will appoint its MPs as watchdogs of ministries in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s administration to ensure the coalition becomes a constructive and effective opposition.
PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the 73 PN MPs will play the role of “check and balance” for the government.
“We have 73 MPs...so, we can have three MPs in charge of a ministry. We will monitor and give suggestions for improvement as we have been in the government before,” he told reporters at a thanksgiving ceremony here today.
Takiyuddin, who is Kota Baru MP, said PN will continue to urge the Anwar administration to take into account the concept of federalism by not leaving out development at the state level.
Meanwhile, Takiyuddin said he had not received any information regarding the tabling of the motion of confidence for Anwar in the Dewan Rakyat this December 19.
Anwar was reported to have said that the agenda for the 15th Parliament’s first session this December 19, among others, is a motion of confidence to prove that he commands majority support in the Dewan Rakyat. – Bernama, December 1, 2022
