Reconsider order to return allocations, PH reps urge NS govt
Nilai assemblyman J Arul Kumar says the quarterly allocations have already been used for community needs, with some assemblymen spending their funds in full.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) assemblymen in Negeri Sembilan have called on the state government to reconsider its order for them to return allocations received from July to September, following the dissolution of the state assembly. Nilai assemblyman J Arul Kumar met with Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim to seek clarification after receiving the official letter from the state government.
The assemblymen had already utilized the funds for public welfare, with some spending their allocations in full, according to Sinar Harian. Arul Kumar stated that the allocations were distributed quarterly, not monthly, as requested by the Menteri Besar. He emphasized that the PH assemblymen and the coordinators had submitted financial reports up to June 30, and any remaining allocations were returned before July 10.
Arul Kumar expressed concern about having to return funds they had already spent on community activities and hoped the state government would review the financial records.
