The heads of the two coalitions in the state – PH’s Mujahid Yusof and BN’s Saarani Mohamad – listed five issues that will be the main focus of the committee.

IPOH: Perak Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) have agreed to form a consultative committee to ensure the stability of the state government.

Perak PH chairman Mujahid Yusof and state BN chairman Saarani Mohamad, in a joint statement today, said the formation of the committee was a symbol of both parties’ commitment to upholding the decree of the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah that political stability should always be nurtured to ensure economic prosperity and the well-being of the people.

“The committee held its first meeting on Tuesday, chaired by Saarani and Mujahid,” the statement read.

The following are matters that have been agreed upon by both parties:

Ensuring the state government remains stable until the end of the five-year term by joining hands in upholding the state constitution.

• Ensuring that the people’s welfare agenda is always prioritised by fostering the values of unity among the people under the leadership of the menteri besar and his administrative team.
• Ensuring Perak’s prosperity with economic activities and by generating state income through government administration practices that are clean, transparent, fair and responsible to all the people regardless of race and religion.
• Strengthening and utilising media channels on all platforms more effectively to convey information to the people of Perak, in particular, and Malaysians in general about the policies and achievements of the state government.
• Maintaining harmonious relations between parties at all levels to make the state administration successful and smooth at the grassroots level.

PH and BN had agreed to form a unity government in Perak, after no single party or coalition obtained a simple majority in the Perak state election, with Perikatan Nasional (PN) winning 26 seats, PH (24) and BN (9) in the 59-member state assembly. - FMT
