PUTRAJAYA, Aug 26 — The government has yet to receive any feedback from the opposition regarding the draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the allocation of funds to opposition MPs, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
“Ask the opposition. We haven’t received anything yet; no response from them,” he said briefly when approached by reporters after the TVET Competent Energy Commission-Energy Transition Catalyst event here today.
On August 20, Perikatan Nasional (PN) chief whip Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan reportedly said they received the draft MOU and will discuss it soon.
Takiyuddin previously said the draft needed to be presented to PN chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and other leaders for a decision.
On July 9, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the issue of fund allocation to opposition MPs should not be complicated to resolve.
He said conditions set for any opposition MP seeking allocations are basic requirements and standard procedures in any negotiation and democratic practice.
