Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub speaks at a press conference in the Parliament lobby today. - BernamaMinisters can give out cash assistance to the rakyat at any time they deem appropriate, even if it coincides with a by-election campaigning period, according to Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub.
He was responding to Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan who had questioned the Pakatan Harapan government’s decision to promise cash aid to fishermen in Tanjung Piai and not wait until after the by-election was completed there. “I don’t care what others might say, but when the fishermen benefits, so will the rakyat. As a responsible government, we will give assistance to those who are entitled. If you feel this is against election laws, then you can raise the matter up and let the court.”
“The same applies to the issue of jetties. If they are dilapidated, do we wait until they are destroyed before we build them new ones?” he said, adding that it was PH’s Tanjung Piai incumbent Datuk Md Farid Md Rafik who made the promise to give out assistance to fishermen before he died on Sept 21, triggering the by-election.
