‘Equal allocations a must’


PETALING JAYA: In the wake of four Bersatu MPs switching camps despite the anti-hopping law being in place, three civil society groups have stepped up calls for the government to give equal constituency development funds (CDFs) to all MPs.

The Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Bersih 2.0), Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) and Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (Ideas) said unequal CDF allocation was the main factor behind MPs switching allegiances and that it was crucial to put an end to this.
