Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yasin declared his monthly income as being RM93,841.65, BUT the salary of a Prime Minister according to law[MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT (REMUNERATION) ACT 1980] is only RM22,826-65 only. He is not entitled to get his salary as MP, when he is Prime Minister. So, where is the rest of his monthly income coming from? That is the question.

Is other monthly income coming from Allowances as an MP/Prime Minister? Surely, the allowances he receives as MP/PM cannot be so high, about RM...?
Is it coming from other sources & incomes derived from other 'political appointments'?
Is it income coming from regular political donations made by third parties to MP or PM Muhyiddin?
Is BERSATU paying its President monthly salaries/allowances?
Is it from income generated by his other personal investments - interest, dividends, rentals?
Is his other source of income coming from other questionable sources?

SADLY, the current information publicly available - only talks about monthly income and total asset value; This is inadequate. There must be greater accountability and transparency - we need to know the exact sources of these monthly incomes.
It matters not how RICH they are - our concern must be their PERSONAL INCOME when they are PM or Member of Cabinet.
How rich they are is concerning because it seems to indicate that the POOR and the lower incomed Malaysians may be under-represented in Parliament.

ASSETS - how rich an MP is really do not matter that much but what matters is his interest in corporations/businesses especially since the government do make decisions as to awarding projects to certain businesses. If he has an interest, he should NOT be involved in such decision making process - thus, important for his interest in businesses be disclosed - shareholding, etc..
LAND - Government can make decisions that will increase value of land, so maybe where these lands are ought to be disclosed.
INDIRECT INCOME and INTEREST - this really means that it may be best for also a declaration of asset of his spouse, and maybe even children?
IN THAILAND, it is an offence for the Prime Minister to receive any other income from any other sources save his salary and allowances as Prime Minister(and/or MP) - Malaysia should also have such a law. One past Thai Prime Minister was removed from office simply because he received some monies/gift for participating in some TV cooking show.
A member of the Cabinet(Administration) should be barred from receiving any monies, gifts and/or benefits from any other sources, whilst he/she is in Cabinet.
This will not only curb corruption, or including attempts by third parties to get into the good books of the government.
Malaysia has a Minimum Wage of RM1,200(RM1,100), and we have such a high financial debt > is it right for Prime Minister, Members of Cabinet and/or MPs/Senators to be paid so much.
Muhyiddin's monthly income is almost 90 times the wage earned a minimum wage worker - is that JUST?
When one is in the Cabinet, there are so many benefits provided, which would be part of a normal person's costs of living. It may be interesting to find out, what he uses his own personal income for - or is it all simply put into savings, or other income generating investments?
Remember government-linked MPs also get millions, for use in their constituency - so, even when the make 'donations', they may not really be using any of the personal income - but other government provided funds. When you and I make a donation, it comes from our own pocket...mmm.
MP's salary/allowance should be for personal use - they should also be provided additional money for the employment of support staff, and for the maintenance of offices and service centres. Now, it does not happen really, so many an Opposition MP ends up using his/her own salary/allowance as MP - to employ support staff and maintain offices.
CONSTITUENCY ASSISTANCE - maybe every MP and contesting candidate should be paid monthly RM1 per vote he received in the last the last elections. If the BN candidate wins with 25,000 votes received, he will receive RM25,000 per month until the next election. The losing PAS candidate, for example, who got 12,000 votes, will receive RM12,000 per month until the next elections.
PM Muhyiddin tops MACC list with RM93,000 monthly income, 10 other govt officials have assets over RM10m
KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 — With his public declaration of getting
RM93,000 every month, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin earns the
highest income in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.
A list of assets owned by 57 of the country’s top officials who have
declared the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is now publicly
accessible on this portal as part of a move towards greater government transparency. However, this list does not include all 70 government officials.
Muhyiddin had on June 15 declared his monthly income to be RM93,841.65 and his total assets to be worth more than RM10 million.
10 other officials with assets exceeding RM10 million
The list also names 10 others in PN as having declared their assets to be worth more than RM10 million to the MACC.
They are:
1. Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa
2. Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Jeffrey Kitingan
3. Deputy Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Ahmad Amzad Mohamed @ Hashim
4. Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Zainal Abidin
5. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Maximus Johnity Ongkili
6. Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Datuk Kamarudin Jaafar
7. Deputy Education Minister II Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon
8. Deputy Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Edmund Santhara Kumar
9. Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib
10. Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Lim Ban Hong
However, they are not necessarily the ones with the highest monthly income that has been declared.
The MACC portal does not put the exact amount when it comes to the assets held by the members of the PN government.
Instead of listing the exact amount, MACC gave a range of values for
the assets declared by each of the 57 members of the PN administration.
The other brackets of asset values listed by the MACC and the government officials in them are as follows.
With assets worth RM8.5 million to RM10 million:
1. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof
2. Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Khairy Jamaluddin
With assets worth RM5 million to RM8.5 million (eight individuals);
RM2.5 million to RM5 million (12 individuals); RM1 million to RM2.5
million (16 individuals including Datuk Shahruddin Md Salleh who has
since quit as deputy works minister); and those with less than RM1
million (eight individuals).
The eight individuals with less than RM1 million in declared assets
are Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan;
Environment and Water Minister Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man; Deputy
Finance Minister II Mohd Shahar Abdullah; Deputy Home Minister I
Jonathan Yasin; Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department
Arthur Joseph Kurup; Deputy Human Resources Minister Awang Hashim;
Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rina Harun;
and Deputy Rural Development Minister II Datuk Henry Sum Agong.
The previous version of the MACC portal that was first unveiled on
November 1, 2018 initially only listed the total income for members of
the administration and MPs from the ruling coalition, but did not
include information on the value of their declared assets. The previous
version of the portal had subsequently the same month included the exact
value of the total assets declared by members of the then Pakatan
Harapan administration and MPs from the ruling coalition.
The new version of the portal contains additional information such as the post of the individuals in the government.
Unlike the older version, the new version omits information on
whether the spouse and children of the government official in question
had also made declarations to the MACC.
