Why has no official complaint been lodged about alleged MP threats?

Question

Accepted Answer

No Official Complaints Filed Regarding Alleged MP Threats

The unity government has not received any official complaints concerning alleged threats made to opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) to garner support. This assertion comes from Pakatan Harapan (PH) secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, who stated that neither the Prime Minister's office, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) commissioner, nor the Home Ministry, including the police, have registered such grievances.
Budget Approval Demonstrates Strong Parliamentary Support

The convincing approval of the Supply Bill 2024, also known as Budget 2024, at the policy stage in the Dewan Rakyat serves as a clear indicator of the government's robust support among MPs. This legislative success underscores the stability of the current parliamentary backing, negating claims of instability or a lack of confidence.
Denial of Coercion Tactics

Saifuddin Nasution firmly denied any suggestion that support from Perikatan Nasional (PN) MPs, should it occur, is a consequence of coercion or threats. He emphasized that the government does not engage in such practices to secure parliamentary backing.
Challenge Issued for Evidence of Threats

In response to statements by PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin regarding the coalition's efforts to gather evidence of alleged threats, Saifuddin Nasution challenged them to present authentic proof. He indicated that without substantiated evidence, such accusations remain unsubstantiated.
Government Operations Continue Unimpeded

The government's operational stance remains one of continuity, with no perceived issues regarding the level of support from MPs in the Dewan Rakyat. Saifuddin Nasution reiterated that the government's position is stable and that parliamentary support is considered strong and convincing.
