Allocation rejection queried

SHAH ALAM: The state Opposition must be having money for them to reject the RM200,000 allocated to them in Selangor Budget 2015, state legislative speaker Hannah Yeoh said.
Yeoh said, as an assemblyman, she would have taken the allocation as it will finance programmes through their service centres that will benefit the people.
"For me, as an assemblyman, if I don't have money to organise programmes for the people, you give me RM100,000 also I will take because it's for the benefit of the people.
"But if you reject it even when the money is given to you, it only shows one thing – that you already have money," she told a press conference at the state assembly annexe building.
However, Yeoh said she does not know if the Barisan Nasional central leadership allocated funds for their state apparatus as this could be the reason why they do not need the allocation.
Meanwhile, Yeoh also clarified that the opposition leader's official car was approved by a bi-partisan Assembly Management Committee, in which opposition leader Datuk Shamsudin Lias (BN-Sungai Burong) is one of the seven assemblymen in it.
She said the car also had the approval of the state executive council during former mentri besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim's (Independent-Pelabuhan Klang) tenure.
Yeoh said the car had just arrived and the handover ceremony on Monday was merely a ceremony to give Shamsudin the keys to the Toyota Camry.
