Negeri Sembilan assembly erupts over RM180,000 allocation to PH lawmakers before dissolution

The Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly experienced turmoil as opposition and Barisan Nasional lawmakers questioned an RM180,000 allocation approved for Pakatan Harapan (PH) representatives just before the assembly was dissolved. The controversy arose during the first special sitting of the 15th assembly term, with lawmakers expressing concerns over the timing of the allocation and whether it was appropriate for funds to be approved so close to the dissolution.

Datuk Saiful Yazan Sulaiman (Johol-BN) likened the allocation to an election fund and called for a detailed investigation into the matter, while Teo Kok Seong (Bahau-PH) defended the approval, stating that it had been made according to established procedures. The dispute deepened as Ridzuan Ahmad (Gemas-PN) questioned why the allocation was approved for a period that had already ended, and Jalaluddin Alias (Pertang-BN) challenged Teo’s explanation regarding the allocation's intended recipients.
