Sabah and Sarawak affairs minister Mustapha Sakmud said development funding will continue to be channelled based on constituency needs and the government’s financial position. (Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: The government has yet to commit to enacting a law to ensure equitable development allocations for all MPs, saying the proposal requires comprehensive consideration.
In a written parliamentary reply, Sabah and Sarawak affairs minister Mustapha Sakmud said the government's current approach was to prioritise development and public well-being regardless of constituency.
He also said the distribution of such funds must take into account the needs and priorities of each constituency, as well as the government's financial position.
