The PM spent RM10 million more than his predecessor Pak Lah in his overseas trips in the last five year.
(FMT) – Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak has spent staggering RM44.071 million in the past five years for official duties abroad, revealed Taiping MP Nga Kor Ming today.
Citing a written reply from the Minister of Prime Minister’s Department Shahidan Kassim, Nga said that the amount equaled to RM8.814 million a year and RM734,516 per month over the period.
The expenditure was incurred in between March 2008 and May 2013 and covered Najib’s entourage too.
