KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] DAP is urging Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to fulfil one of Pakatan Harapan’s election pledges and grant equal constituency development funds to all MPs.At present, only government MPs receive the funds, with funding in opposition states handled by government-appointed liaisons. The government has even withdrawn control of funding from rogue PKR MPs.DAP national chairperson Gobind Singh Deo said the party has conveyed this to the prime minister numerous times, and we hope he takes the necessary steps to implement this as soon as possible.Meanwhile, in a separate story, Umno has stated that it has no issue with PAS’ campaign to abolish gambling in the country, saying the activity is opposed by people of all races and religions.However, Umno supreme council member Razlan Rafii said legislative amendments would first be needed to realise the agenda.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
