Power transitions, MoU, anti-hopping law unnecessary if politicians have values: Shafie

KOTA KINABALU – Warisan has opted to stay away from the transformation and political stability memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by the opposition and federal government on Monday as it wishes to be the third bloc that serves as checks and balances on the government, said Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal (Semporna-Warisan) today. 

The Warisan president said while the signing of the MoU is a sign of political maturity, the party remains committed to fighting for the people’s issues, like the pandemic fallout, unemployment and the widening gap between the rich and the poor, among others.

“These matters must be done to restore the people’s trust towards political party leaders that are currently running the country’s affairs.

“Warisan remains committed to fighting for the people’s issues via a bipartisan approach on matters such as the handling and control of Covid-19, unemployment, the widening of the wealth gap and lack of basic amenities,” he said in his parliamentary debate speech today.
