‘Cut in MPs’ allowance is no good in bridging gap’
Kota Belud MP Isnaraissah Munirah Majilis

Isnaraissah said taking into account the much larger size of parliamentary constituencies in Sabah and Sarawak coupled with the problem of poverty, the existing allowance should be maintained or increased.
