Party chiefs to sign agreement on unity govt, says DPM Fadillah

Party chiefs who have expressed support for the unity government will sign an agreement tomorrow on their cooperation, says Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof.

Fadillah, who is also the chief whip of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), said the agreement would formalise their cooperation with Pakatan Harapan in the unity government led by Anwar Ibrahim.

"Tomorrow there will be a signing ceremony involving all parties which have agreed to the formation of the unity government. There, you (media) can ask about the content of the agreement and its focus," he told reporters after an event in Putrajaya today.

When asked which party manifesto would be implemented by the unity government, Fadillah said this matter had not been discussed.

"One of our priorities is related to the cost of living," said Fadillah, who is also plantation industries and commodities minister.

Fadillah said he would be attending a GPS meeting today to study the content of the agreement.

Meanwhile, he said as far as he knew, the recent announcement of a 20% salary cut involved only Cabinet members.
