Political career
[edit]Support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Chief Minister of Sabah Hajiji Noor
[edit]On 30 October 2023, SuhaIli, the Labuan MP of the PN opposition coalition, declared his support for the government and leadership of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. His support for Anwar and his government strengthened the two-thirds majority support in the Dewan Rakyat they commanded by increasing the MPs supporting his government from 148 to 149. He is the second opposition MP to do so after Kuala Kangsar MP Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid. In addition to Anwar, Suhaili did so for Chief Minister of Sabah Hajiji Noor. He added that the declaration was decided to take the hardships and grievances of the Labuan people into consideration who were burdened by rising costs of living as well as persistent water and power disruptions while stressing his loyalty to his party BERSATU and his readiness for any possible disciplinary actions from his party. Suhaili clarified that his decision was also totally voluntary, free from external pressure and driven by a sincere desire to benefit the Labuan people.[2][3]
