Regardless of where they live, they are only allowed to claim travelling allowance from the local district Office to the villages where they serve, said Housing and Local Government Ministry’s Chinese affairs adviser Leong Cheok Keng. They are also not entitled to claim for toll charges, food and accommodation, he added.
Perak Youth Assembly Malim Nawar representative Wong Chin Ho had on Sunday (July 4) claimed that some development officers were from other states or districts and was concerned about incurring substantial mileage claims.
