PETALING JAYA: The huge convention between various parties and factions within the unity government – six months since its formation – is expected to cement ties at all levels of party memberships, way beyond typical working relationships at the government level.

“This convention will be the hallmark for stronger commitment for all parties to strengthen cooperation, understanding and working relationship at all levels, not merely to face the six upcoming state elections, but more importantly, to steer the direction of the new Malaysia based on the concept of Madani,” the unity government secretariat’s chief Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki told The Star.
