On political relations within the federal government, Asyraf Wajdi said UMNO’s position was to continue respecting and upholding the Agreement on the Formation of the Malaysian Unity Government.

He said the party’s priority remained focused on preserving the country’s political stability until the end of the government’s term.

“The reason is that we still adhere to the agreement on the formation of the Malaysian Unity Government. As long as the time for the election has not arrived, essentially, we will not resort to ‘any backdoor tactics’ or change the government.

“We are thinking about the political stability that we are committed to defending, and that is why I believe no major problems will arise. Most importantly, let the people decide and give their mandate when the time comes,” he said.

He added that the spirit of consensus among all component parties in the Unity Government must continue to be preserved through continued reference to the original agreement, for the good and well-being of the people.
