KUCHING: The inaugural Unity Government National Convention, set to take place today, is a timely endeavor aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the government’s current direction.
According to political analyst Professor Datuk Mohd Fadzil Abdul Rahman, this convention holds significant importance due to the composite nature of the unity government, which consists of various political parties.
“We are aware that the unity government is a combination of different parties in this country. They are also made up of parties with different struggles, so through the convention, it will be able to unite in terms of understanding concerning the struggle and direction of the government at this time,” said Mohd Fadzil.
In addition, he highlighted the convention as a crucial step in preparing for the forthcoming state election in six states in Peninsular Malaysia.
He asserted, “Through this convention as well, it is also to tell the people that this unity government is the strongest and most intact government despite coming from different political parties. They will also be able to explain in more detail about the efforts and initiatives implemented. It can also be seen as a double-edged sword for the state election issue.”
Fadzil further acknowledged that certain parties’ endeavors, including recent initiatives by Perikatan Nasional (PN), may pose challenges to the government.
“So, they have to make sure that the unity government at all levels can move towards a single aspiration despite different parties.”
