KUALA LUMPUR: The government’s move to only provide equal allocation of funds to opposition MPs from parties involved in the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Putrajaya has been criticised by an independent MP who says it is akin to punishing his constituents.

Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman (Independent-Muar) told the Dewan Rakyat that he had written a letter to Speaker Azhar Harun regarding deputy special functions minister Mastura Mohd Yazid’s statement in September that all MPs, regardless of political affiliation, will be given equal allocations for the remainder of the year.

He said Mastura had also “stressed” that the equal allocation to all MPs will be distributed immediately.

“But it’s now December and until today, Muar has not seen a single sen,” he said.
