Recently the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced the RM2 billion cost-cutting package. The question is:If the government can increase oil prices from 41 to 63 per cent, why can’t it cut the entertainment allowances of cabinet ministers and deputy ministers more and not just a meagre 10%?
It is disclosed that the current entertainment allowances are RM18,865 for the prime minister, RM15,015 for the deputy prime minister, RM12,320 for ministers and RM6,000 for deputy ministers.
What about all the other allowances which ministers and deputy ministers are entitled to?
All the various forms of allowances which cabinet ministers and deputy ministers are entitled to should be made public.
