KUALA LUMPUR: The Opposition did not want to take part in the motion of confidence for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s premiership in the Dewan Rakyat, as it did not want to be seen as being in support of the "illegal" agreement between members of the unity government, says Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan.

Perikatan Nasional's chief parliamentary whip also reiterated that the agreement between the coalitions within the unity government was illegal and had restricted parliamentary democracy.
