PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has said that the Unity Government has never denied the rights of Opposition MPs, and the allowance of all MPs have never been touched under his administration.

In his winding up speech at the 2023 PKR Annual National Congress attended by 1,391 party delegates, the PKR president stressed that the government continued with the development allocation for Opposition states even though it was not channelled directly to MPs.

“We carried on with allocations in PAS, Bersatu parliamentary areas. Schools, mosques, every change, we did every development project.

“But we did not channel it through MPs. Why do we channel to MPs who harangue us daily, wish to topple us, insult us,” he said at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) today.

The Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman said the Opposition only used religious and racial sentiments but failed to prove they could administer the country well, even though they had the chance to be the government previously.
