When our Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced there would be a 20% pay cut for all Ministers, netizens rejoiced though some are stating that the Ministers are being paid a lot of money still, not realising that no humans want a pay cut.
Pay cuts are still pay cuts regardless of the amount
Some of the netizens went on to state that our ministers here are still getting paid more than Indonesia’s Prime Minister Jokowi. But if we compare that to Singapore Ministers, it’s a whole different story. The original poster of the ire against the pay cut has gotten backlash from other netizens. Others asked him, “are you cutting your own pay to provide for the poor in this country?”
“It is better than having 70 dormant Ministers who are given powers yet they still barely used any,” stated another netizen. There was support for the Minister’s salary as for many it is still their only source of income.
