Negeri Sembilan orders opposition reps to refund three months of allocations

State executive councillors in Negeri Sembilan have instructed Harapan-aligned representatives to repay allocations they received over a three-month period, citing their loss of entitlement after the assembly was dissolved. The ruling administration contends that the opposition lawmakers are no longer eligible to retain the funding once their statutory positions ceased to exist following the dissolution. The move has drawn scrutiny as a potentially contentious decision in the state's political landscape, with implications for how state resources are managed during transitional periods. Details regarding the specific amount involved and the timeline for repayment were not immediately disclosed. The directive underscores ongoing tensions between the state government and opposition representatives as Negeri Sembilan navigates the process of reconstituting its legislative body.
