Syed Saddiq's allocation to be resolved soon - DPM

The constituency allocation for Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman will be resolved soon, said Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof.

Fadillah, who heads the Government Consultative Council Committee, said Syed Saddiq agreed in principle to the conditions set by the government.

“In principle, he agreed to several terms, and we are in the process of finalising the matter. So far, he is the only one (opposition MP) who has responded.

“Syed Saddiq has communicated his agreement both in writing and in person… but I have yet to receive responses from other opposition MPs,” he said.

Fadillah was speaking to reporters at a community event to distribute “bubur pedas” organised by the Kuching North City Hall today.

Syed Saddiq (above) reportedly met with Fadillah five times, as advised by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, but without any positive outcome.

Earlier, Fadillah, who is also the Petra Jaya MP, distributed 500 packs of “bubur pedas” to local residents and provided aid to 75 asnaf (those eligible for zakat or tithe) recipients in Satok.
