KUCHING: The unity government is waiting for the Opposition to submit documents before a committee to discuss development funds can be formed says Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
The Deputy Prime Minister, who heads the Government Consultative Council Committee, said the government is still waiting for the Opposition’s official proposals.
“I can only establish a committee at both the government and opposition levels once I receive the proposal. Then, we can begin discussions. But at this point, what is there to discuss?
“They (Opposition MPs) have spoken to the media but have not taken any concrete action. So, I cannot do anything.”
He told reporters this after the Annual Grant Presentation Ceremony for the Village Development and Security Committees, Mosques and Surau in the Petra Jaya parliamentary constituency, here today.
Yesterday, it was reported that the Opposition claimed they were required to send a letter to the Deputy Prime Minister before the committee could be established.
Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin was also reported as saying that Perikatan Nasional would send a letter to Fadillah to seek confirmation on whether the party is required to submit a formal request for the formation of the committee.
