Good news! We have just received an official confirmation from the pm office (at 10 am) that a sum of RM100,000 has been made available to all Opposition MPs, presumably to tackle the Covid-19 crisis. This amount is to last us the whole year, but I intend to spend all within this crisis period.
I will have a Zoom meeting with my officers at 12 noon to work out the best way to distribute this aid. After that meeting, I will engage my ADUNs and community leaders on our intended spending and get their feedback.
Lastly, we will have to also comply with government regulations on what and how we spend this. As such, my officers and I will be looking at the process and procedures this morning.
