Fahmi Govt Doesn T Need To Get Support By Offering Projects

---

 


There is no need for the coalition government to offer any projects to MPs to garner their support as claimed by two Perikatan Nasional MPs.
Coalition government spokesperson Fahmi Fadzil said the current support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and his administration was good enough and exceeded 149 MPs.
“The prime minister had also explained in Parliament that he has not met with both PN MPs who voiced their support for him recently,” he said in a statement to Bernama and RTM today.
Media outlets reported today that Besut MP Che Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh and Kubang Pasu MP Ku Abd Rahman Ku Ismail, both from PN, claimed that projects were offered in their parliamentary constituencies as an inducement to support the government.
On PN secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin’s statement claiming that the majority of Malaysians wanted his coalition to take over the country’s administration, Fahmi, who is also the Communications and Digital Minister, said it was just something he said to placate his own supporters.
“It would be good if Hamzah managed to persuade his party leadership to accept the prime minister’s invitation from day one (to be together with the coalition government as advised by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong) or even when they were invited early this year.
“We even extended the invitation yesterday, to meet with (Deputy Prime Minister) Fadilah Yusof and discuss the (parliamentary constituency) allocation issue.
“PN would not lose face if they met and negotiated as urged by the prime minister. We have also sat down to negotiate and Malaysians are the actual winners,” he said.
