MyKhas fund belongs to people, not MPs, says Fahmi

KUALA LUMPUR - MyKhas is not a personal entitlement for Members of Parliament. Instead, it is a special fund administered under the Prime Minister, disbursed directly to address the needs and welfare of the people within specific constituencies.

PKR Information Chief and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said this is consistent with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's emphasis that government allocations are for the benefit of the people and are not an exclusive right of any elected representative.

He explained that the allocation has been formalised in the Malaysia Plan and Budget documents as a special provision under the Prime Minister's purview, to be disbursed as needed.

"If we look at the Malaysia Plan documents and also the budget documents, what is referred to is the Prime Minister's special allocation.

"So we leave it to the Prime Minister on how to disburse it," he said at a press conference after officiating the 2026 Safe Internet PIBG Convention for the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory level at the Imbi Convention Hall, Cheras today.

Fahmi, who is also the MADANI Government spokesman, reiterated that the MyKhas mechanism was created solely to serve residents and voters in parliamentary constituencies, and its use is determined by the Prime Minister's office rather than by individual MPs.

"Even I cannot use MyKhas for myself. It is for the people, for the residents and voters in the constituencies. What the Prime Minister has stated is correct, accurate and true," he said.

Regarding the distribution of assistance in states won by the opposition, Fahmi explained that applications can be made via the Implementation Coordination Unit under the Prime Minister's Department.

Yesterday, Anwar emphasised that government allocations channeled to parliamentary constituencies are not the exclusive right of any elected representative, but are instead meant to provide facilities and improve the comfort and standard of living of the people in those areas.

The Prime Minister said the allocations can be channeled directly to the people, including for schools, religious schools, mosques and drainage repair works. - BERNAMA
