No change in allocation for Opposition reps, says Penang CM


GEORGE TOWN: The Penang state government will maintain the allocation given to Opposition assemblymen despite requests to provide equal funds to representatives from both sides of the aisle.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said that it was better than the practice of zero allocations given to Opposition assemblymen during the time of the previous administration before 2008.
