PUTRAJAYA, March 29 — The federal government said today it will need to review some matters and list down suggested items before coming up with a final proposed deal with Opposition MPs.
Government spokesman Fahmi Fadzil said the proposal will only be presented to the Opposition after it receives thumbs up from political leaders in the government.
“There are a few suggestions that we are drawing up and we are assessing a few matters. The next step is to present it to the leadership council in the Madani government, involving heads of parties.
"And if the discussion goes well with the Opposition, it will go back to the Cabinet to be decided," the communications minister told reporters here.
Four days ago, Fahmi assured the public that government representatives have not drafted any agreements with the Opposition.
He explained that Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof’s recent meeting with Opposition representatives, including the new Opposition Leader, was merely to hear their views about proposals and potential offers.
This comes after Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin claimed last week that the opposition bloc had received a draft document detailing matters related to the allocation negotiations for its MPs during Thursday’s session in the Dewan Rakyat.
