State polls: Madani Economy aid not election candy, says Fahmi


KUALA LUMPUR: Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil has refuted allegations by certain parties that the special aid and assistance announced under the Madani Economy initiative was just another political candy given in conjunction with the six state elections next month.

He said this was because the announcement on the special aid and assistance was made before the campaign period for the six state elections even started.
