The Cabinet of Ministers of the Unity Government has agreed to accept a salary cut of 20%, as shared by 10th Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI).
According to a report by Berita Harian, DSAI said that the matter was agreed upon in a special Cabinet meeting yesterday (Monday – December 5).
“The council of Ministers agreed, out of concern for the people, to cut salaries every month by 20%. This cut is until the country’s economy recovers… if it’s 3 years… 3 years, that’s an example,” he explained.
DSAI also confirmed that he will not be accepting a salary as Finance Minister.
“Some people say Anwar takes the PM’s salary but also takes the Finance Minister’s salary… that is not true. He only has one salary,” he added.
