ISKANDAR PUTERI: The Johor government has been urged to review and increase the allocation for its 56 assemblymen from RM350,000 to RM800,000 a year.
said currently, all assemblymen in Johor received a yearly allocation of RM350,000, but added that this was not enough to “meet the rakyat’s growing needs”.“The suggestion to have a new allocation of RM800,000 a year must be carried out by 2020, ” he said in his speech during a Johor state assembly workshop here on Monday .Suhaizan said that the allocation review was part of a five-point resolution passed during the two-day workshop, and which has been passed on to the Metri Besar.
On the need for more select committees, compared with only three currently, he said: “This will be in line with the practices of Parliament from other countries under the Recommended Benchmarks for Democratic Legislators, Commonwealth Parliamentary Association . These must be submitted to the state assembly for approval, with a reasonable allowance given to members who attended meetings.
“To save time when debating, there is no need for all assemblymen to speak during a sitting, where a speaker will chose some of the assemblymen who are ready to debate just like in Parliament, ” he added.
