It’s up to PM how MyKhas funds are channelled, says Fahmi
Government spokesman says the Malaysia Plan and federal budget clearly state that the funds are a special allocation from the prime minister.
Government spokesman Fahmi Fadzil clarified that the prime minister retains the authority to determine the method of distributing special constituency funding called MyKhas. This allocation, as stated in Malaysia Plans and annual federal budget documents, is a special grant from the prime minister, intended for the well-being of the public rather than for individual MPs.
The communications minister emphasized during a press conference at the Konvensyen PIBG Internet Selamat 2026 that these funds are not meant for MPs but should be channeled to the populace. He further explained that the final decision on distribution lies with the prime minister, even in opposition-held constituencies where appointed coordinators oversee the allocation process.
The MyKhas portal has faced access issues for several PKR MPs, including Rodziah Ismail from Ampang, Wong Chen from Subang, and Lee Chean Chung from Petaling Jaya, following the launch of the Bersama party. Former PKR leaders Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad initiated this new political entity in May. Anwar justified this action, stating that the funds need not necessarily flow through MPs, proposing direct distribution to projects and initiatives within their constituencies.
