MPs’ allowances can reach RM40k a month, says PMO

A member of Parliament is entitled to a fixed allowance of RM25,700 monthly, as well as other allowances and claims depending on their eligibility, according to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

In a statement yesterday, the PMO clarified the matter following the allegations by certain parties, including the opposition MPs, that their monthly income is so low to the extent of having to go into debt to live their lives.
