PH assemblymen, 2 coordinators told to return Negri Sembilan allocations
SEREMBAN: A total of 17 Pakatan Harapan (PH) state assemblymen, including six who lost their seats in the last state election, and two constituency coordinators in Negri Sembilan have been asked to return allocations received for July to September within a month.
SEREMBAN: Pakatan Harapan (PH) legislators and coordinators in Negri Sembilan have been instructed to return allocations from July to September within a month. Former Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim revealed that these allocations, totaling RM225,000, were no longer needed due to the dissolution of the state legislative assembly on June 5.
The funds, meant for service centers and the well-being of the people, were paid out following an executive council meeting on June 3. Each assemblyman must return RM174,000 while each coordinator must return RM150,000. Former exco members, including Aminuddin Harun, retained their ex-officio status until July 31 and were therefore eligible to use the allocation for that month.
Ismail stated that the former exco members received RM150,000 for August and September, but must return RM150,000. The state government has also appointed Paroi and Labu constituency coordinator Datuk VS Mogan as Coordinating Officer for Indian Community Affairs, with exco-member status, starting from September 1.
