KUCHING, Oct 29: The federal government has signed a confidence-and-supply agreement (CSA) with 13 MPs, including opposition lawmakers, in exchange for their support for Budget 2027 and two major institutional reforms.
According to The Edge Malaysia, the agreement was signed today (Oct 29) by former prime minister and Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and 11 other MPs.
The report stated that the additional backing could bring the number of MPs supporting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to 159, surpassing the two-thirds majority needed to pass constitutional amendments, provided all relevant MPs vote in favour.
The agreement could also give Anwar greater political room as calls grow from Barisan Nasional (BN) for an early general election.
