He made the announcement during the debate session at the Johor state legislative assembly sitting here, saying that the state government did not practice democracy and transparency as it claimed.

“The menteri besar promised that the state government would be democratic, but YB, we will not be democratic and transparent if our roles as the opposition are only acknowledged with an Opposition Leader’s room and the reality is different,” he said.

Hasni who is also Benut assemblyman said the state government’s move in not allowing opposition members to attend the district action council meetings, school events and almost all state government events showed that it failed to practise democracy.

“It is meaningless for us (the opposition) to have an office and paid an allowance, it is better that I return the office and allowance for the last six months,” he said.
