Human Rights Director highlights Malaysian Retirement Scandal

 AAA Why should holding several political offices entitle one person to several taxpayer-funded pensions? There is something quite extraordinary about Malaysia's political pension system. A politician can serve as MP, state assemblyman, menteri besar or chief minister, state executive councillor and perhaps speaker or deputy speaker, and potentially emerge from this political career with several separate pensions. In other words, the more political positions one occupies, the more retirement benefits one may accumulate, all at the taxpayer’s expense. What kind of retirement system is this?

FMT reported Pejuang information chief Encik Rafique Rashid Ali has defended Attorney-General (AG) Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar over alleged mistakes in a court order concerning Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak’s house arrest, saying the AG should not be blamed for a document prepared by the court.
