KUALA NERUS: Allocations or contributions at state level announced by the government for the benefit of the people and not a bribe, says Community Communications Department director-general Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff.
He said what was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was based on the budget the government had approved.
"A bribe is when you give something and expect a return through votes. When you give money for people to vote for a certain party, that is a bribe," he told reporters after officiating the Terengganu-level Madani Icons Roadshow at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu here on Sunday . Therefore, Mohammad Agus said he hoped that the people, especially the youngsters, do not go overboard when it comes to politics.
Several development allocations and contributions announced by Anwar during the Madani Open House tour series have been criticised by netizens, who see the Tambun MP's act as straying from his principles before assuming the highest position of the country's leadership.
