Kerajaan belum sedia wujud perundangan khusus salur peruntukan saksama
Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Hal Ehwal Sabah dan Sarawak) Mustapha Sakmud kata cadangan itu perkara dasar yang perlu diteliti secara menyeluruh.
Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Mustapha Sakmud stated on Parliament's website that the government is not yet prepared to draft a special legislation for allocating development budgets in a sensitive manner across all constituencies. According to Mustapha, the government's approach currently focuses on ensuring continued development and welfare of the people, irrespective of the region.
The allocation of funds for projects, public amenities, and programs beneficial to the populace remains channeled through the government's powerful mechanisms based on regional needs and priorities, he added in his response to a question from Khoo Poay Tiong (PH-Kota Melaka) on how far the government is willing to enact a comprehensive law for a balanced development budget for all MPs.
In August, the opposition Democratic Action Party (DAP) urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to allocate equal development funds to all MPs and subsequently introduce legislation to guarantee such consistent funding. DAP Deputy Chairman Gobind Singh Deo emphasized the party's commitment to fulfilling the promised commitment, as mentioned in Pakatan Harapan's election manifesto.
