MCA's Donald hits out at S'gor pay hike but COMPLETELY omits Sarawak's even GREATER JUMP! It is disappointing that the Pakatan Selangor state government refuses to accept public criticism against their self-awarded sharp salary rise by up to 372%, thereby displaying the general arrogant attitude of Pakatan. Pakatan had advertised themselves to care for the welfare of the rakyat. However their massive pay hike contradicts their election claims. Although to cope with the rising cost of living is a reasonable explanation, the spike must be acceptable to the public, and thus, should be gradually raised. The Selangor state Assembly on 27 November had approved tremendous pay jumps for all its lawmakers from the Menteri Besar to the state Assemblymen by up to 372%. With this pay revision, their wages are even greater than the Prime Minister’s and the Deputy Prime Minister’s. This is unreasonable. Such moves are typical of Pakatan tactics. When BArisan Nasional had proposed salary increments, Pakatan was quick to attack BN as wasting taxpayers’ funds and also instigated the masses to oppose BN. But now when Pakatan themselves award themselves, their vitriol against BN is replaced with a different form of rhetoric. Pakatan had also criticized the civil service as being bloated. Yet after they seized the state government, they did not trim the number of civil servants, while the Selangor state government also announced a half-month bonus for state civil servants. Why does Pakatan apply different standards?
