Upko president Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau said no government can be stable with just a simple majority in the 220-member Dewan Rakyat. He said there was a need for the new prime minister and government to sign confidence and supply agreements with opposition parties. Upko also backed the 10-point Cross-Party Political Stability Pact proposed by Bersih 2.0, Abim, Gabungan Bertindak Malaysia and the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Halls. Madius said the package is much more comprehensive than Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s seven-point reform package on Aug 13. "The Klang Valley-centred ‘one-size-fits-all’ governance paradigm must be buried together with winner-takes-all politics," added the Opposition party leader.
