00:00Pendang MP Awang Hashim has questioned DAP's sincerity in pushing for equal constituency development funds for all MPs.
00:09The past MP asked whether DAP was preparing for a return to the opposition after the 16th general election.
00:17Awang argued that DAP should have pushed for equal allocations from the start of the unity government's tenure
00:23instead of raising it with only about a year left in the parliamentary term.
00:28He also questioned whether the move was driven by DAP's own political interests,
00:33noting that opposition MPs had gone without government funding for years.
00:38For Awang, giving equal allocations only in the final year of the term would amount to political theatrics.
00:45DAP Chairman Gobind Singh Dio had urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to provide equal funding for all MPs
00:51and guarantee the practice through legislation.
00:54Gobind maintained that such legislation would remove political discretion from constituency funding
01:00and protect voters, regardless of their political choices.
01:05Wawasan Vice President Wan Saiful Wanjan also dismissed DAP's push as merely a political show.
