PRIME Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has upgraded opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim’s facilities to bring it on par with that of a minister, said Anthony Loke.

The Pakatan Harapan (PH) chief whip coordinator and Seremban MP said in a Facebook post that Ismail had given Anwar a letter upgrading the terms for the office of the opposition leader before the Transformation and Political Stability Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) second steering committee meeting in Parliament yesterday.

Loke said the committee meetings are held on Mondays every fortnight.

“The meeting discussed the progress of the reform agenda which was agreed by both sides. A few amendments to the Federal Constitution will be tabled in the coming Parliament sitting,” he said.

Loke noted that the meetings will inculcate a new political culture in Malaysia.

“Although there are political differences, we can sit together to discuss and reach a consensus for the interest of the nation,” he said.

The bipartisan MOU was inked on September 13 in Parliament.

Witnessed by Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun and senate president Rais Yatim, Ismail signed on behalf of the government while PKR president Anwar, Amanah chairman Mohamad Sabu, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation president Wilfred Madius Tangau represented PH. – October 12, 2021.
