KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said the confidence and supply agreement (CSA) with Bersatu follows a mechanism previously agreed upon under the Perikatan Nasional-Barisan Nasional (PN-BN) government when he was Opposition Leader.
He said the arrangement was based on an understanding reached with the administration of former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, when Anwar was leading the Opposition.
“That was the understanding in principle, similar to what I did as Opposition Leader with the government at the time, when the government comprised Umno, PAS and Bersatu.
“So, when they discussed and proposed the allocations, that was what was implemented. There is nothing unusual about it,” he told reporters after performing Friday prayers at Masjid Al-Muqarrabin, Bandar Tasik Selatan here.
