MELAKA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) is committed to continuing the provision of allocations to opposition state assemblymen should it return to govern Melaka, a practice introduced when the coalition led the state government in 2018.

Melaka PH chairman Adly Zahari said the allocations should be maintained to ensure all elected representatives had sufficient financial resources to carry out their duties and serve their communities.

The former Melaka Chief Minister noted that when PH governed the state in 2018, it became the first state administration to provide allocations to opposition assemblymen.

“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.
