What happened
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim struck a political pact with Bersatu, securing support for Budget 2027 after it passed the policy stage in Parliament on October 29. Bersatu agreed to support the budget in exchange for equal constituency development allocations for its Members of Parliament under a Confidence and Supply Agreement. The agreement also includes conditions for the government to enact institutional reforms, such as limiting the Prime Minister’s term to 10 years.
Why it matters
The pact cleared a major parliamentary hurdle for Malaysia’s 2027 spending plan, which includes measures to ease cost-of-living pressures, expand tax relief for the middle class, and hike the minimum wage. The agreement ties government funding to political support, dictating how national economic policy will be implemented.
