Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi briefed MPs on the pay rise and reminded them that higher pay must be associated with better service. Quote:

“A 10% pay rise for MPs and Senators will help them serve the people better.” […]

“I have been a wakil rakyat for a long time and I understand their predicament when people approach them for help.”

“Sometimes people ask for donations for unforeseen circumstances like deaths and accidents, and the MPs have to fork out their own money.” […]

Meanwhile, are our MPs not ready for prime-time TV yet?
