00:00Dewan Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul's decision not to vacate the seats of six MPs formerly

00:07with Bersatu could strengthen the unity government, but not for long, according to an analyst.

00:13The decision would immediately allow the government to maintain its parliamentary majority, but

00:17its long-term stability depends on the conduct of the six former Bersatu members, said Awang

00:22Azman Pauwi of University Malaya.

00:25He said public trust in Putrajaya hinges on the government's performance and ability

00:28to meet its promises despite internal challenges.

00:32He added that effective governance could mitigate initial skepticism, whereas failure could

00:36increase public dissatisfaction.

00:38Meanwhile, political analyst O A Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs

00:44cautioned that partisan actions by a parliamentary speaker could diminish confidence in the speaker's

00:49impartiality and in the government's credibility.

00:52Last month, Bersatu said the six MPs had ceased to be members after failing to respond to

00:57a notice to confirm their loyalty.

00:59On Tuesday, Johari said there was no need for the six to vacate their seats.
