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 President Ahmad Fadhli Shaari has questioned Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's plan to allocate RM1 million extra funding for each parliamentary constituency, demanding an explanation on how the additional funds will be distributed. Fadhli raised concerns about who will decide the allocation of the funds to meet "urgent local needs" if the money is to be controlled by individual MPs.

He pointed out that the mechanism has not been clarified, especially since Anwar previously announced the additional funds would be managed by MPs, similar to the RM3.8 million currently received through existing government agencies. Fadhli questioned how the allocation would be determined when only MPs can make decisions on the funds, unlike the Prime Minister's earlier statement that the funds would be given to the people without political influence.

The PAS leader also noted that if the funds are only determined by MPs, it appears to perpetuate a "corrupt ala reformasi" approach in the lead-up to the next general election.
