SPRM Releases The Monthly Salaries For Some of Our Prominent Malaysian Ministers

The recent upsurge of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia has definitely angered netizens as many feel that the cases were brought by politicians who were busy campaigning for the Sabah elections. Not only that, the silence and ineffectiveness of some ministers have led to somewhat of an online revolt.

This includes the hashtag #MenteriKPTLetakJawatan urging Higher Education Minister, Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad to resign due to the last minute statements putting students through difficulties. Netizens also were wondering if these ministers are actually doing the job they were paid for.
