SHAH ALAM, March 14 (Bernama) -- Selangor PAS executive councillors and assemblymen have been told to contribute 30 per cent of their monthly basic allowance to the state government, said its Commissioner Datuk Dr Hassan Ali.

Calling on PAS elected representatives to work for the people, he said the money would be used to help the lower income group.
"Selangor PAS will use the money to carry out welfare programmes underlined in the state BA (Barisan Alternative) election manifesto," he told reporters at the state PAS liaison office here today.

He added that PAS state executive councillors and assemblymen were also required to declare their assets and were barred from being directly involved in businesses including providing professional services to prevent any conflict of interest in the awarding of tenders.

On the New Economic Policy (NEP), he believed the Selangor PKR-PAS-DAP coalition government would incorprate the salients elements in the affirmative action plan for the benefit of all races.
