00:00An Amanah leader said Perikatan Nasional's rejection of the draft Memorandum of Understanding
00:07on Constituency Allocations for Opposition MPs suggests the coalition intends to continue
00:14playing up race, religion and royalty issues.
00:17Amanah's Legal Bureau Deputy Chief Ahmad Zamri Asad Kuzaimi called PED's reasons for rejecting
00:24the MOU unfounded, aimed at appeasing their supporters.
00:29On Sunday, opposition leader Hamzah Sainuddin claimed the draft MOU violated the federal
00:35constitution affecting the special position of Malays and Buputras.
00:40However, Zamri said the MOU reaffirms equality under Article 8 and upholds Islam's position
00:48under Article 3.
00:50He also said that it does not contravene Articles 152 and 153, which protects the special position
00:56of Malays and natives of Sabah and Sarawak.
01:00Deputy Prime Minister Fadhila Yusof later released the draft MOUs so the public could
01:05judge Hamzah's claims for themselves.
