KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 — Former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin suggested that the government allocate at least RM300,000 to all members of parliament, including those from the opposition, to enable them to channel immediate aid to flood victims in their respective areas.
“I also want to thank the prime minister who approved the immediate allocation of RM50 million to Johor but I suggest it be increased to RM100 million because the flood situation this time is very bad,” he said, when debating the 2023 Supply Bill in the Dewan Rakyat today. “When Kelantan and Terengganu were affected by the floods last January, the government gave RM50 million to each state. Let’s say 50,000 flood victims in Johor this time, with RM50 million, we can only give RM1,000 in ‘wang ihsan’ ,” he said.
