KUALA LUMPUR: Some RM6.3mil has been spent on Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's official trips since Pakatan Harapan took over Putrajaya, says Datuk Liew Vui Keong.
 
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said the amount was for eight official visits and was spent in accordance with the Members of Parliament (Remuneration) Act.

“The expenditure includes officers who escorted during each visit with the Prime Minister,” Liew said in a written reply to Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man (PAS-Kubang Kerian) in Parliament on Monday (Oct 15).
 
Since being sworn-in as the seventh Prime Minister in May, Dr Mahathir has visited Indonesia, China, Brunei, United States, Britain and Japan.
