Negeri Sembilan demands PH reps return allocations after assembly dissolution

The Negeri Sembilan state government has issued a directive requiring the return of funds that were distributed to Pakatan Harapan (PH) representatives and coordinators immediately before the dissolution of the state assembly. The timing of the allocation—made just a day prior to the assembly's dissolution—has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the disbursement. The 17 assemblymen and two constituency coordinators affected by the order have until the end of the 30-day period to return the allocated funds to state authorities. The directive appears to be part of the financial reconciliation process following the assembly's dissolution. Negeri Sembilan's state assembly was dissolved following political developments in the state, prompting the government to review all recent financial transactions and allocations made to legislative representatives. The state has not publicly detailed the exact amount involved in the disputed allocation or provided further context regarding the decision to demand its return.
