KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 — Cross-party cooperation through the Confidence and Supply Agreement (CSA) is important in building parliamentary consensus to advance institutional reforms in the country, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

In this regard, she welcomed Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s support for the implementation of the CSA, as well as his proposal to extend the cooperation to more opposition parties.

She said political differences should not be an obstacle to cooperation for the sake of national stability and the interests of the people, adding that the approach would also provide an avenue for all the existing 218 MPs to play a role in the parliamentary democratic process.
