A senior DAP official has called for the introduction of a bill designed to guarantee fair and equal allocation of development resources to all Penang state assemblymen, irrespective of their political party membership. The proposed legislation aims to standardize the distribution of constituency development funds across the state legislature, ensuring that all elected representatives receive equitable support for their constituencies. DAP's secretary-general emphasized that such a law would establish transparent and uniform criteria for fund disbursement, eliminating potential disparities in resource allocation based on party politics. The move comes as part of broader efforts to strengthen democratic governance and ensure that all constituents receive adequate development support. Officials in the Penang state government have been informed of the proposal, which seeks to institutionalize fair practices in the management and distribution of parliamentary development funds.
