‘Door not closed to extra funds for genuine needs’


PETALING JAYA: Members of Parliament can still apply for extra funds if there are any genuine needs for welfare or development despite the cut in their development allocations from RM3.8mil to RM1.3mil, says a civil society organisation.

Bersih chairman Thomas Fann, in welcoming the slash, said MPs should not be acting as constituency welfare or development officers while concurrently carrying out their primary duty as a lawmaker.
