Siapa urus tambahan RM1 juta setiap Parlimen, soal PAS

Ketua Penerangan PAS Ahmad Fadhli Shaari mahu kerajaan menjelaskan agensi penyalur serta pihak yang menentukan ‘keperluan mendesak’ rakyat.

Siapa urus tambahan RM1 juta setiap Parlimen, soal PAS

PAS chief communicator Ahmad Fadhli Shaari questioned Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's announcement of an additional RM1,000 per constituency, calling for clarification on the distribution mechanism. The PAS leader expressed concerns about how the funds will be allocated, specifically whether they will be distributed through existing government agencies or controlled by individual MPs, as is the case with RM3.8 million currently received annually.

Fadhli queried how the "urgent needs" of the populace would be determined if the funds were to be allocated by MPs, given that they would be the sole decision-makers. He used an example of MP Bagan Lim Guan Eng's RM100,000 announcement for affordable pork sales in Butterworth, asking if such programs are implemented in other states.

Fadhli also highlighted the potential "pre-reformist honorarium" nature of the arrangement as the election approaches, suggesting this may be another form of "respectful corruption" leading up to the general election.
