Negeri Sembilan's Pakatan Harapan leadership has set a firm deadline for assemblymen to return allocated funds, with warnings of consequences for non-compliance. Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim said the 30-day window applies to those who have not yet settled their accounts.
The directive comes as part of efforts to ensure financial accountability within the state administration. Lasim noted that compliance has been mixed, with some legislators already having repaid their allocations in full, including former Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun.
The move reflects heightened scrutiny of fund management within Negeri Sembilan's government structures. Those failing to meet the deadline face unspecified action, though Lasim did not elaborate on the nature of potential consequences.
The repayment initiative underscores Pakatan Harapan's stated commitment to financial transparency and fiscal discipline in state governance. Officials have not disclosed the total value of funds in question or the number of assemblymen affected by the directive.
