Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh today released her constituency budget expenditure list for 2021 and challenged ministers and MPs from the ruling party to do the same.
In a statement, Yeoh said she has published such a list every year since 2008 when she was first elected as the Subang Jaya state assemblyperson in Selangor.
"Since I became a people's representative and had access to government allocation, I have made it a point to publish the list of expenditures on my website.
"I want to see ministers, deputy ministers and MPs from BN and Perikatan Nasional doing the same, especially for their expenditures during the lockdowns in 2020 and the emergency in 2021," Yeoh added.
The former deputy women, family and community development minister also expressed hope to be able to bring positive change in the country's politics by practising transparency.
"Government allocations came from the public coffer and must not be spent for political party purposes. I have held this principle ever since 2008," she said.
Attached with her statement was a link to the list of expenditures for the Segambut constituency in 2021, totalling RM586,239.
The highest amount of contribution on the list was to the Parent Teachers' Association of SK Penchala, where her office allocated RM29,500 to help build a covered walkway.
There were also allocations extended to police stations and fire stations, including the purchase of five boats for the Jinjang and Sentul police stations. - Mkini
