#KiniNews: Don't waste time on opportunistic gov't backbenchers - Guan Eng, Mat Sabu
Pakatan Harapan is in need of a political reset following the failure to vote down Budget 2021, said DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and Amanah president Mohamad Sabu.
The duo said the budget vote on Tuesday showed that there have been no shifts of allegiance from the Perikatan Nasional side and that Harapan should stop wasting time with them.
"Clearly, these government backbenchers are adept at playing political games to gain maximum leverage from the PN government," they added.

#KiniNews: Jasa rebranded as J-Kom, will not be a propaganda machine, says Saifuddin
Communications and Multimedia Minister Saifuddin Abdullah said that reviving the Special Affairs Department (Jasa) will take less than the RM85.5 million it has been allocated.
He also assured the people that the agency will not be headed by politicians or be used for political propaganda for the Perikatan Nasional government.
Speaking during his Budget 2021 winding-up speech this afternoon, Saifuddin said Jasa would be rebranded as "Jabatan Komunikasi Komuniti" (J-KOM) and be used for grassroots communication.

#KiniNews | Najib: Over RM81 million allocation for Jasa unacceptable
Former premier Najib Abdul Razak (Umno-Pekan) said today that the four-fold increase in allocation under Budget 2021 to revive the Special Affairs Department (Jasa) propaganda unit was "unacceptable" and would court public anger.
He said this in his debate of the Supply Bill (Budget) 2021 in the Dewan Rakyat today.
"In times of a crisis when allocations are more needed to save the people, the introduction of a four-fold increased allocation for Jasa compared to times under BN is hard to accept and has courted public anger.
"I can accept if the allocation is used to buy face masks or hand sanitiser for the people or given to parents as a replacement for their children's missed breakfasts under the Rancangan Makanan Tambahan scheme," he said.
