Malaysia PM wins opposition support as Parliament resumes
The Hindu
The ruling government and the opposition will focus on strengthening governance and parliamentary reforms
Barely a month in office, Malaysia's new leader has won opposition support to shore up his fragile government in exchange for a slew of reforms, as Parliament reopened on Monday. Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob will sign an unprecedented cooperation pact later on Monday, with the main opposition bloc led by Anwar Ibrahim that will prevent any bid to undermine his rule ahead of general elections due in two years. The pact will give Mr. Ismail the backing of 88 lawmakers in Mr. Anwar's bloc, in addition to 114 that support him in the 222-member house.More Related News
