MALACCA POLLS | Pakatan Harapan is committed to continuing allocations to opposition representatives should it return to govern Malacca, a practice implemented when the coalition led the state government in 2018.State Harapan chairperson Adly Zahari said these allocations should be maintained to ensure all elected representatives possess sufficient financial resources to carry out their duties and serve the community.The former Malacca chief minister noted that when Harapan governed the state in 2018, it became the first state administration to provide allocations to opposition assembly members."Based on my own experience as an opposition member, the absence of such allocations makes it difficult for assembly members to manage their service centres and assist the community in their respective constituencies."If you are an assemblyperson and receive absolutely no allocation, it becomes extremely challenging. At the very least, there should be an allocation for the operation of a service centre," he told reporters yesterday.Adly (above) said that although funds are channelled through district offices and government agencies, financial resources provided by the state government to opposition assemblypersons are essential for distribution to the public in the form of various types of assistance.
