Anwar urges Opposition MPs to resume discussions on constituency allocations

PUTRAJAYA, Nov 4 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged Opposition MPs to resume their discussions with Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof on the allocation requests for their respective constituencies.

This comes after the statement by Opposition lawmakers yesterday, who said they will stop negotiations or requests for allocations for their areas with Fadillah.

“Discuss with DPM Fadillah,” he told the press after officiating the National Family Month Celebration 2023 at Dataran Putrajaya today.

When asked about allegations that there were various conditions that Opposition MPs needed to comply with if they wanted to request allocations for their areas, Anwar said: “None.”

Yesterday, Perikatan Nasional Chief Whip Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said he had met with Fadillah twice to discuss the relevant allocations before announcing the decision to suspend negotiations on the matter.
