How much do Pakatan Harapan ministers and MPs actually earn?
(MMO) – In the interest of transparency, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has reportedly revealed the allowance of Pakatan Harapan (PH) lawmakers and ministers.
Detailing the allowance list to Malaysiakini, Saifuddin said that PH ministers are paid exactly what BN ministers made in the previous administration, but with a 10 per cent reduction.
The allowance list is listed as “confidential”, but Saifuddin said he agreed to share the details as “there is nothing to hide”.
“When government files are labelled as ‘confidential’, it means the letter, circular or document cannot be circulated but the contents and details can be shared.
“There is nothing to hide. My view on this issue of this viral image [on ministers’ allowance] is to be transparent with our incomes and not exploit or partake in corruption. The rest, we leave to the rakyat,” he said.
He was referring to a news report on how a PH minister allegedly can claim RM5,700 a month for parking.
Saifuddin explained that a PH minister is paid RM13,400 a month in salary, as well as the RM16,000 monthly wage as an MP.
A PH minister also enjoys the same allowance as other lawmakers; however, without the RM400 per day allotment to attend parliamentary sittings, he said.
Saifuddin then detailed what PH ministers can claim as follows:
Entertainment allowance: RM12,000
Cabinet minister’s allowance: RM4,000
Housing allowance: RM4,000 (not claimable if residing in an official residence)
Domestic helper allowance: RM2,500
Driver allowance: RM2,500
Ministers can also claim a vacation allowance that includes first- or business-class air travel for their spouse, and economy class for their children below the age of 21.
Ministers can also claim a daily subsistence and food allowance if they travel for work. Saifuddin, however, said he did not remember the exact amount.
Members of the Dewan Rakyat’s allowance
While the allowance of a Cabinet minister is not detailed by the Treasury Department, all ministers, deputy ministers and their respective political secretaries have publicly declared their monthly incomes, allowance and assets to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), and the information is accessible to the public.
This differs from the allowance for lawmakers, including the Speaker and deputy Speakers of the upper and lower houses which available through Statute Papers published on the Parliament website.
Listed below is the allowance accorded to lawmakers:
Attendance for Parliamentary sittings: RM400 per day
Attendance for government agency meetings or workshops: RM300 per day
Entertainment allowance: RM2,500 per month
Special payment: RM1,500 per month (except if the MP is member of the administration)
Business-class air travel allowance and first-class rail travel allowance
Hotel allowance when overseas: Standard room
Hotel allowance when on domestic duty more than 32km from home: No more than RM400 a night
Daily stipend during business trips: RM100 a night (domestic), RM170 a night (international)
Food allowance when overseas: RM340 a night
Fixed travel allowance: RM1,500 per month
Fuel allowance: RM1,500 per month
Toll allowance: RM300 per month
Driver allowance: RM1,500 per month
Black-tie attire subsidy: RM1,500
Saifuddin’s revelation to Malaysiakini comes after public uproar over the Public Service Department’s announcement that it would stop paying critical service incentives to newly recruited professional civil servants.
The Critical Services Incentive Payment or BIPK — a special allowance worth RM750 — is intended to attract and retain skilled workers in professions deemed vital to the country’s development.
Those serving in the public sector who will be affected include government-employed nursing lecturers, doctors, pharmacists, medical officers, engineers and lecturers.

There is a clear problem with the Pakatan Harapan government.
Instead of being a people-centric government, Malaysians have been treated to a return to Dr Mahathir Mohamad economics, a system characterised by broken trickle-down economics and a zealous commitment to the dismantling of social security structures – while maximising “reward” for those at the top.
The government, in the name of financial prudence, would rather cut BR1M/BSH entirely, give tax breaks to the rich and cut critical allowance for public servants who serve in key public services.
ADVERTISING
All this while, for every minister, taxpayer funds are going towards RM40,000 per year for their household appliances.
They are said to receive one fully taxpayer-funded overseas holiday, and if they nobly take the initiative to not travel abroad, they receive RM50,000 instead.
What exactly do our ministers do to deserve such remuneration?
Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, who is quick to jump on every opportunity except those that involve his portfolio, is a clear example of what is wrong with this government.
In a selfie video addressing the JPA cuts to critical allowances, he vigorously defended the role of young doctors in our public healthcare.
His response? That he would cut his holiday time, return his holiday allowance and cut his salary by 10%.
ADVERTISING
Oddly enough, he did not extend this same gesture when he began his tenure as a minister by severely cutting down on funding for our national sports programmes.
When confronted by users on social media about this publicity stunt and over the fact that this should have been discussed in the Cabinet instead, Syed Saddiq’s officers attempted to deflect accusations of incompetence by stating that the Cabinet was simply blindsided by this decision.
Blindsided. Doesn’t that just mean the Cabinet is unconsciously incompetent?
A leaner civil service should not come at the expense of critical areas for the development of the nation such as health and education.
Not especially when our ministers boast five-figure salaries not only for themselves but their coterie of hangers-on and “advisers”, some of whom do not even have a university degree.
Actually, we even have a deputy minister with a reported fake degree.
Can someone in PH come out and explain how these individuals deserve RM10,000-RM50,000 salaries as opposed to a doctor or air traffic controller?
If the government wants to really cut operating budgets, they should start from the top – who by virtue of being elected, become part of the country’s top 1% at the expense of taxpayers.
Let’s be clear that this critical service allowance cut does not only affect the public health sector but 38 critical service sectors that include air traffic control officers and engineers across industries.
Our healthcare system alone is under severe strain. As shown in a report by the National Audit Department, our public healthcare sector is understaffed, underfunded and overcrowded and does not have enough equipment to provide proper levels of care.
In the words of health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, “we are currently underfunded, understaffed, underpaid, overworked, overstretched and with facilities overcrowded with patients. We all need to improve the public healthcare system … all of which are beyond the control of MOH.”
Laughably, what this move will ultimately do is segregate the old hires from the new ones, yet with the same job scope. For example, a permanent UD 44 MO and a new contract UD 41 MO will still have to do the same amount of on-calls and face the same type of risks – only one gets paid RM750 less.
This is not the message that we should be sending to future civil servants, who work day in and day out with long shifts and lives on the line.
Where are the priorities here? PH needs to be honest with us – do they really want to serve the rakyat or are they content with simply serving themselves?
