KUCHING: Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin and Opposition party representatives have requested that discussions regarding allocation issues be postponed to next week, says Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
The Deputy Prime Minister said discussions involving allocations for opposition members of Parliament should have been held last Tuesday (March 12).
"All party representatives, namely Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan (PAS), Datuk Hamzah, and Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee (Bersatu) requested a postponement because Takiyyudin had important matters in Kota Bharu.
"So maybe next week, the date is not set yet because we are waiting for them to confirm," he told reporters after distributing 'bubur lambuk' (rice porridge) to the public at Surau Al-Hidayah, Petra Jaya here today.
According to him, the discussion will also detail the opposition's requests to the government, including any form of cooperation that can be established between both parties.
