During these challenging times, even our ministers are getting pay increments in order to support themselves with the rising costs of everyday life. The state of Sabah has decided to increase their ministers salary by 40%, and a netizen mentioned that the cost per year of this increment is RM5.6 million.
Furthermore, the salary increments are backdated to March 2022, meaning their salaries from back then are also increased. Some netizens mentioned that it is the same in the corporate world, and that semenanjung Malaysia’s ministers are also receiving a good salary.
Others complained that the normal rakyat’s salary would either be a 1-3% slow increase that has to go through stringent KPI reviews. To summarise it all up, many Malaysians are not too happy with the Sabah ministers’ pay increase by 40%, if it was a smaller number they might.
