The government and Syed Saddiq have agreed in principle to settle the Muar allocation suit, with RM500,000 and RM230,000 myKHAS funds to be reinstated.

PUTRAJAYA: The government has agreed in principle to reinstate constituency allocations previously withdrawn from Muar Member of Parliament Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, paving the way for a possible settlement of a legal dispute over the funds.

Lawyer Lim Wei Jiet, representing Syed Saddiq and three Muar voters, told the Federal Court three-member bench today that both sides have agreed to settle the matter in principle.

“What is agreed in principle is essentially for the 2023 allocation of RM500,000, which was cancelled, to be reinstated, and also for RM230,000, which is allocated for specific projects under the myKhas project, to also be reinstated,” he said.
