Peruntukan saksama: P Pinang tunggu keputusan DAP pusat
Ketua Menteri Chow Kon Yeow berkata, beliau telah dihubungi oleh Pengerusi DAP Gobind Singh Deo mengenai perkara itu.
The government of Penang has been paying RM60,000 annually to each opposition Adun in the state for several years now, according to the <source>. Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow is waiting for the Central DAP leadership's decision on legislation to ensure the responsible allocation of development funds, following concerns raised by a civil society group.
DAP's Secretary-General Gobind Singh Deo informed him that the matter will be taken to the national leadership level, so they will wait for any decision from them. However, Chow stated that the Penang government has been doing this for years, allocating RM60,000 annually to each opposition Adun in the state. For comparison, each government Adun receives a RM500,000 annual regional allowance.
On Wednesday, Sam Project urged the Penang and Selangor governments to pass such legislation, stating that both states under Pakatan Harapan administration have the majority and resources to implement it swiftly. The group believes that both states have a comfortable majority and are not facing any funding constraints, and implementing this policy will demonstrate PH's readiness to execute reform reforms at the federal level.
In their 2022 PRU manifesto, PH pledged to provide responsible development fund allocation to all Members of Parliament.
