“Some have indeed returned the allocations, but not the full amount disbursed. Perhaps they have already used it for the people and other purposes - I do not know. Those who have not returned the full amount must provide an explanation and expenditure records,” he told reporters here today.

He was speaking after presenting flags to the contingent head and managers for the Selangor 2026 Malaysia Para Games (Para SUKMA), also attended by state Youth and Sports Action Committee chairman Datuk Mustapha Nagoor.

Ismail said the Menteri Besar's Office was reviewing records of allocations received by each former PH assemblyman to determine the actual outstanding amount, as the sums received differed from one representative to another.

“The letters to be sent will not be the same for everyone. Some may have to return the full amount, while others less, depending on the balance for each state constituency based on our records.

“The letters will be sent after the review process is completed,” he said.

Yesterday, Ismail asked all former Negeri Sembilan PH state assemblymen and state constituency coordinators to return allocations received for the July to September period within one month following the dissolution of the state assembly on June 5.

However, he said the state executive councillors at the time, including Aminuddin, remained ex-officio members until July 31 and were entitled to use allocations for that month.

Earlier today, Nilai assemblyman J. Arul Kumar said allocations disbursed before the dissolution of the state assembly had been used for the welfare of the people and not for political purposes.

The Negeri Sembilan DAP chairman said all unspent balances had also been returned to the Menteri Besar's Office before July 10, together with financial reports for each state constituency.
