Manivannan referred to a statement by Permata's division secretary Saidatu Akhma Hassan that of the most recent RM150 million allocation:
- RM20 million was returned to the government;
- RM77 million was channeled to Kemas, another government programme; and
- The rest went to Permata's own programmes in Terengganu and Sarawak.
Manivannan said the government should allocate funds directly to other organisations, rather than treat Permata as the “middleman”.
As a programme for early childcare, Permata Negara should come under the Education Ministry and not the Prime Minister's Department, he told reporters in the Parliament lobby today.
The programme received RM100 million in 2011 and RM111 million in 2012.
