YOURSAY | MPs, ministers making big bucks a travesty of justice - superadmin - 10-01-2021 Mazilamani: Thank you, Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, for the exposure on how politicians can earn themselves handsome wages or pensions, just by serving a long time as an elected representative or being a minister. Now it becomes very clear why people hold on to party leadership post (a step away from a ministerial position), ever ready to betray or backstab a gullible and weak leader, start a new party as leader, and frog leap from one party to another. The entire salary and perks package is a heavenly gift. This calls to mind what the fourth and seventh prime minister would have made. How many gratuities and pensions as minister of several ministries, deputy prime minister and two-time prime minister plus head of foundations has he made? And not to forget the litany of perks and privileges. It is like "tikus jatuh ke dalam gudang beras". If Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob is truly into reforms, it should all start here and now. There must be numerous other areas to be looked into. - More -
