Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said if he is given the mandate to be the 10th prime minister after the 15th general election, he pledged that his first order of business would be to cut the premier’s salary and allowance.
“Due to the current economic situation, I’m not willing to accept the salary as prime minister.
“I will ensure that the size of the cabinet will be reduced. Ministers’ salaries must also be reduced, far lower than what it is now.
“As for the ministers, I will consult with them and decide later,” he said at the Pakatan Harapan Convention from the Ipoh Convention Centre last night.
Yesterday, Pakatan Harapan has named Anwar as the coalition’s prime ministerial candidate for the upcoming 15th general election which will be held on Nov 19.
