The Yang di-Pertuan Agong said he appreciates the efforts of party leaders in creating bipartisan cooperation in pursuit of building a new political landscape in the country.

This is the type of “maturity” the rakyat wants to see from their leaders, he said.

“I welcome and very much appreciate the efforts towards realising a new bipartisan approach among all parties, which will soon shape a new political landscape and bring with it changes to the country’s administrative system.

“Heed this old Malay advice… for those who won shall not win all, and those who lost shall not lose all,” the king said in his royal address when opening the first meeting of this Parliament term today.
