Things you should know about the famous MoU – Charles CJ Chow

HERE are things that you should know about the famous memorandum of understanding (MoU) made between the federal government and Pakatan Harapan on September 13, 2021.

First, the MoU does not expire on July 31, 2022. It is in force until Parliament is dissolved. Clause 2.1 of the MoU states: “Terpakai sehingga pembubaran Parlimen Malaysia yang ke-14.”

Currently, the date of dissolution is not known. It can be any date between now and May 2023.

The government merely agreed that it shall not dissolve Parliament before July 31, 2022. After that date, if it decides not to dissolve Parliament, the MoU will still continue to be in force.

Hence if the MoU does not expire on July 31, 2022, then there is no question of extension, as mentioned by some people. It subsists for the life of the current Parliament or until it is repudiated.

Now let’s look at the other terms of this agreement. 
The government wanted only two promises from Harapan:
(i) Harapan will support the Budget 2022 and supply bills; and 
(ii) Harapan will prevent a no-confidence vote.

In other words, keep the government in power and give it the money to spend.
