Review of pensions should start with elected representatives, says Libaran MP

KOTA KINABALU: The government should start the proposed abolition of pension schemes by reviewing the benefits for elected representatives, says Libaran MP Datuk Suhaimi Nasir.

"It is unfair to civil servants who on average have served more than 30 years before being eligible to pension benefits, while elected representatives who have only served for five years are almost immediately eligible to receive pensions," said the Sabah Umno information chief.
