ANNUAR Musa has advised all parties to refer to articles 2.1 and 3.1 of the Putrajaya-Pakatan Harapan memorandum of understanding (MOU) to avoid confusion about its expiry date.

The communications and multimedia minister, in an attempt to explain his recent statement that there is no expiration date, attached copies of the agreement in a Facebook post.

“For those who like to write but are lazy to read or research, or who confuse the facts on purpose, I am posting official documents or copies of the MOU.

“Please refer to articles 2 and 3 of the agreement. I was one of those representing the government during the signing (on September 13).”

Article 2.1 states that “this MOU shall be effective from the date this agreement is signed and shall apply until the dissolution of the 14th Parliament of Malaysia”, and Article 3.1 states that “the government agrees to not propose the dissolution of Parliament before July 31, 2022”.

Annuar was responding to Umno leaders who disputed his statement that the MOU has no expiry date and supports Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob until the dissolution of Parliament.

The federal government and the opposition coalition inked the agreement to form a bipartisan partnership in line with the spirit of Keluarga Malaysia. – Bernama, June 4, 2022.
