What’s PKR, Amanah’s stand on equal funds, asks Kiandee

Beluran MP Ronald Kiandee posed a question to government MPs from PKR and Amanah, asking them to state their position on equal funding for all MPs. He commended the DAP for its bold stance in urging Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to allocate equal funds and establish this practice through legislation. However, Kiandee inquired if PKR and Amanah also shared this viewpoint.

Kiandee urged government MPs from PKR and Amanah to declare their stance on the matter. He emphasized that if the reforms they are pursuing are driven by principles rather than political interests, the government should take prompt action to ensure that MP allocations are distributed fairly and transparently.

The former minister noted that opposition MPs have been advocating for equal funding for the past four years, yet this demand has gone unmet in Parliament. He argued that these funds are intended for projects and initiatives that benefit their respective constituencies, and thus, they should be managed with integrity, transparency, and fairness for all parliamentary constituencies.
