Arau MP Shahidan Kassim called for equal opposition representation on parliamentary select committees, claiming some had only three opposition MPs among 10 members. (Bernama pic)KUALA LUMPUR: Shahidan Kassim (PN-Arau) has called for constituency allocations to be placed under Parliament’s control instead of under the prime minister’s purview, to ensure fair treatment for all MPs.

He said Parliament’s restored independence should extend to constituency funds, and that opposition MPs still did not receive the same allocations as government MPs.

"We want the allocations currently being given to government MPs to be transferred to and managed by Parliament," he said after law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said briefed the Dewan Rakyat on the Parliamentary Service Act 2025.
