DAP’s push for equal allocation ‘just a show’, says Wan Saiful
The Wawasan veep says DAP’s push for equal constituency allocations is motivated by fear that it may become the opposition after the next general election.
Wawasan vice-president Wan Saiful Wan Jan has criticized the DAP for what he perceives as a "show" over its recent call for equal constituency allocations for all MPs. Wan Saiful, who represents Tasek Gelugor, questioned why the DAP only raised this issue now, more than three years into the current government's term. He argued that if the DAP was truly serious about this demand, it should have made it from the beginning.
Meanwhile, DAP chairman Gobind Singh Deo has urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to allocate equal funds to all MPs, both through legislation and additional funding. While Gobind welcomed the recent RM1 million allocation to all constituencies, he emphasized that this does not address the core issue. Wan Saiful suggested that the DAP is only pushing for equal allocations now as a "safety net" to protect its interests if it becomes the opposition after the next general election, rather than out of genuine concern for the people.
