PETALING JAYA: The 20% pay cut for cabinet ministers will continue, while judges are set to receive a salary increase from Jan 1, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
"The last time judges’ salaries were increased was in 2015, and they have not received annual salary increments like other schemes. They are also prohibited from holding positions and businesses,” Anwar said during his Budget 2026 speech in Parliament on Friday (Oct 10).
