Basic Salary : $18,000. Parking Allowance : $10,600

Many netizens commented when YAB Prime Minister of Malaysia touched on the Financial Burden the Government had to bear due to the payment of emoluments and pensions to public servants.

Among the most well-read Netizen comments is this article:

"Pension payments that burden the Government the most are actually for Politicians, which are higher Allowances than salaries!

In particular, the positions of PM, TPM, MB, KM, Minister, Exco, Member of Parliament and State Assembly Member.

They should not be Civil Servants and are disqualified from receiving the pension scheme for only holding office for 60 months.

They should not be eligible for a full pension, compared to Civil Servants who have to work for 240 months to qualify for a pension.

Take a look at an example of emoluments for a Cabinet Minister: 1) Basic salary = RM18,000 2) Entertainment Allowance = RM10,500 3) Housing allowance = RM10,800 4) People's Allowance = RM10,650 5) Parking allowance = RM10,650

Actually, they don't pay to park the vehicle, because they use an official vehicle.

In addition, the Government also had to pay an emolument of RM16,000 per month to 222 members of the Dewan Rakyat and RM11,000 per month to 70 members of the National Assembly.

Imagine every election (once every 5 years) the elected representatives change, and they all live long, how much does the pension cost for former elected representatives?

This is more wasteful and burdensome than lowly Civil Servants such as Grade 11 general assistants with a salary of only RM1,216 and after serving for more than 30 years, their salary is as low as RM2,983. So the pension only amounts to RM1,491.50 per month for 15 years (after the age of 60). if we take the life expectancy of Malaysians up to 75 years.

Note 1: Minister's Vehicle Parking Allowance is higher than Grade 44 Salary!

Note 2: If the lowest grade salary of a government employee is RM1,500 including allowance then the salary of a minister is equivalent to 37 Grade 11 general assistants.

Politicians who hold office, supposedly to defend the fate of the people, in fact they are only defending their own fate.

This must be corrected. This does not include Politicians who take advantage of other opportunities to make a profit.
