Anwar Ibrahim, leader of the PH coalition says there is no salary for him if he is appointed prime minister after the upcoming Malaysian general election.
Speaking at an event in Kalabakan, Sabah he told the crowd that he would be “ashamed” to take a salary while the public endured rising prices in goods, and he vows to slash what he called a “bloated administration” with 70 ministers and deputy ministers under the most recent Barisan Nasional government.
“There were 70 ministers under BN. What have they done? The people are suffering with the rising of goods prices but 70 ministers cannot do anything to help the situation. In Islam, power is a responsibility, not a privilege,” he says.
Anwar’s net assets are worth about RM11 million (S$3.3 million) in cash and real estate properties, a local portal says.
