Yesterday, Malaysian parliamentarians passed a Bill to raise their allowance from RM6,508 to RM16,000, and which represents a 146 percent increase! It's too much; it's excessive.
The Members of Parliament (Remuneration) (Amendment) Bill will also see the allowances for Senators increased from RM7,000 to RM11,000.
FYI, MPs' salaries have been revised in 1992, 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2005.
Is this the right time to give themselves a hefty raise? Do they know the hardships of the ordinary rakyat during this time? Blardy selfish!

On Thursday, I attended the Satu Hati Toastmasters meeting and thanks to Reuben Raja, I even delivered a CC speech #7 titled “Be Unhappy to Be Happy”. An interesting speech, if I may say so myself.
I would score this meeting a 4 over 10 only because we didn’t start on time.
