Proposed abolishment of politician's pension to be discussed in Cabinet, then Parliament, says PM


REMBAU: The proposal to abolish pensions for politicians will first be discussed at the Cabinet level and then brought to Parliament before any decision is implemented, says the Prime Minister.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said as a moral responsibility, the matter needs to be tabled and thoroughly explained as it was difficult to rationalise if the abolition of the pension was excluded for politicians.
