PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional chief whip Takiyuddin Hassan is slated to meet deputy prime minister Fadillah Yusof next week to discuss allocations for opposition MPs.

Takiyuddin, who is PAS secretary-general, said he will represent the opposition leader, Hamzah Zainudin, at the meeting with Fadillah on June 13.

Takiyuddin said the government’s component parties had discussed the allocations for opposition MPs, but opposition parties were not informed.

“We want to know what the conditions are and after that we will discuss among ourselves if we are able to accept (it),” said Takiyuddin, who is Kota Bharu MP.

His remarks were made at a media conference after the Kota Bharu PAS general assembly, Berita Harian reported.

Fadillah had previously said a memorandum of understanding about the allocations was being finalised. When ready, copies would be distributed to all political parties for review. - FMT
