As of now, 5 special advisers have been hired, costing RM136,136 per month. Should they serve the full two-years, they are expected to cost taxpayers a total of RM3.267 million. 

That is certainly a huge amount for advisers alone, and you might wonder if the previous Prime Ministers in our country had ever spent this much for their advisers, reported BFM News.

Here’s a list of some of the previous PMs and the costs involved to pay their advisers.
