However, how much do we really know about our members of parliament (MPs) and assemblymen? More specifically, how much do they earn for a living? One would expect them to be paid a hefty salary for being responsible for deciding on our nation\u2019s laws.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, earlier this year, there was a huge commotion over the proposed abolishment of the pension scheme for new government hires. Following this, many quarters began calling for the elected representatives to be ineligible for the pension scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An announcement by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi cautioned that the government would be spending <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/news\/government-public-policy\/2024\/01\/1005315\/zahid-new-civil-service-hiring-policy-works-updated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM140 billion on pensions by 2040<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if new salary schemes aren&#8217;t introduced. This sparked a wave of heated discussions. To get a better look at the situation let\u2019s see what MPs and assemblymen can earn.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-much-does-a-minister-and-member-of-parliament-earn\"><\/span><b>How much does a minister and member of parliament earn?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlimen.gov.my\/images\/webuser\/akta\/Act%20237e.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Members of Parliament (Remuneration) Act 1980<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an MP&#8217;s monthly salary, including their allowances, could work out to an average of RM25,700. Unsurprisingly, this puts our MPs well above the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/b40-m40-t20-income-gap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T20 income group<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be more exact, MPs are also allowed to claim various allowances or subsidies for specific purposes. One such example is their ability to receive RM400 per day for attending parliamentary sittings and a one-time allowance of RM1,000 every three years to purchase black-tie attire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"block\"><div>Note: Since assuming office in 2022, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that he will not be taking a salary as prime minister or finance minister while implementing a 20% pay cut for his cabinet ministers.

On the other hand, Perak and Perlis registered amongst the lowest salaries paid to MPs, with some going as low as RM6,000, according to a local English <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/news\/nation\/2024\/01\/1005791\/how-much-do-our-mps-and-assemblymen-earn-here-are-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">daily<\/a>. However, this is still a respectable amount considering the extra allowances that elected government officials enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should also be noted that some MPs and assemblymen may also sit on the boards of certain government-linked companies. Some might even be the CEO of companies as well. This could potentially add an additional RM40,000 to RM50,000 a month to their pockets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-much-is-the-salary-of-a-cabinet-minister\"><\/span><b>How much is the salary of a cabinet minister?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we roughly know how much the average MP or state assemblyman earns through their salary and allowances, what about the big-name members of the administration? Surely, positions such as the Prime Minister will hold a much higher salary, right? According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlimen.gov.my\/images\/webuser\/akta\/Act%20237.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Members Of Parliament (Remuneration) Act 1980<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the salary for members of administration are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Prime Minister: RM22,826.75<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Deputy Prime Minister: RM18,168.15<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Minister: RM14,907.20<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Deputy Minister: RM10,847.65<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Parliamentary Secretary: RM7,187.40<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier in the article, the current prime minister is not taking his salary, and his entire cabinet is taking a 20% pay cut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can see there definitely is a direct correlation between income and the positions of power that a Parliamentarian holds. However, the difference between them does not seem as massive as one might think. Without considering additional allowances, the monthly salary difference between the Prime Minister and a regular Minister would only amount to a difference of around RM8,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be noted that if an MP holds two or more administrative offices within the government, the official would then only be entitled to the highest salary and allowances payable for the position that they hold. This means no double dipping.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are-our-MPs-really-wealthy\"><\/span><b>Are our MPs really wealthy?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average MP already receives a pretty decent salary every month. Add to that all the allowances that they are entitled to, and the additional board positions that they can take, then it is rather safe to assume that they can accumulate a fairly large sum of cash over their career. However, it is interesting to note that MP\u2019s in Malaysia sit far less than their counterparts, for instance, US congress members sat for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thoughtco.com\/average-number-of-legislative-days-3368250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">174 days in 2018<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. UK MPs on the other hand sat for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parliament.uk\/about\/faqs\/house-of-commons-faqs\/business-faq-page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">213 days<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, during the 2022-2023 session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dewan Rakyat, in contrast, only sat for around 74 days, including special sittings, during the year 2023, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlimen.gov.my\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parliamentary schedule<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on data by the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the average income of a Malaysian household is around <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/open.dosm.gov.my\/dashboard\/household-income-expenditure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM8,479 per month<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This translates to around RM101,748 per year. Comparatively, an MP could be earning up to RM178,886.40 per year on just their monthly salary alone. Also keep in mind that the average Malaysian citizen would likely be working around 20 days a month, compared to members of parliament who only convene several times a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, it does seem like our MPs and government officials do get a pretty cushy paycheck for the work they do. While many might be quick to start raising pitchforks, we should keep in mind that running a country is not exactly easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this, some might argue that our officials may be getting too many perks for the amount of work they do. On the other hand, how is that much different from the CEOs and board directors of privately owned and public listed companies?
