Pahang and Malacca cut reps’ entertainment allowances
KUANTAN: Pahang and Malacca will follow the Federal Government and cut the entertainment allowances of their state exco members and assemblymen.
Pahang Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob said the state government would consult the Federal Government before making the final decision to slash the allowance by between 10% and 30%.
“We do not want to be seen as trying to upstage the federal government with our proposed measure,” he told reporters after the official launching of Air Asia Berhad’s Kuala Lumpur-Kuantan route by the Tengku Mahkota of Pahang at a hotel yesterday.
In Malacca, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the 10% cut in allowances would take effect this coming July 1 and would include the Speaker.
The Chief Minister’s entertainment would be cut from RM5,500 to RM4,950 while the Speaker and BN exco members will be slashed from RM1,000 to RM900 while BN elected representatives will be cut from RM250 to RM225.
