Hannah Yeoh says that she no longer has any allocation previously given by the Federal Government for each Member of Parliament (MP) ever since Perikatan Nasional (PN) took over the government.
As the MP for Segambut, she said in a Facebook post that previously, she would receive RM300,000 a year for the running of her office, including salary for staff, rental of office, utilities and other expenses.
However, starting January 2021, Hannah says that this is no longer the case.
She said that a total of RM3.5 million was given as “welfare aid and grant to associations in Segambut and programs including infrastructure projects in schools and parks,” but she added that this allocation has now been redirected by the PN government to an “unelected PN politician in Segambut.”
“We have no details of their spending since Sheraton Move. No one knows,” she wrote.
“I have always published how I spent my allocation on my website. This has been a practice since I was ADUN Subang Jaya, you can view it on my website.”
Hannah added that other MPs in states led by Pakatan Harapan (PH) like Selangor and Penang receive financial support from the state government. However, Opposition MPs in Kuala Lumpur have no such support.
“I also do not have millions of pocket money to spare (unlike some corrupt politicians).”
“I cannot sing or dance (or shave my head bald) to raise funds, but I work hard for my residents and commit to being an effective voice for them.”
Hannah further explains that her greatest concern now is to sustain the running of her team this year so she can better serve the people.
“If you would like to contribute to my work, here are the details of the bank account: PUSAT KHIDMAT RAKYAT HANNAH YEOH (CIMB 8008776607).”
“Meanwhile, we will continue to ask for transparency on which PN politician is currently spending my MP allocation in #Segambut. Please share.”
