Rara questions 60% allowance hike to RM480k for FGV chair
A DAP lawmaker has questioned the necessity for FGV Holdings Bhd to propose, among others, a 60 percent hike in annual allowance for its chairperson Dzulkifli Abd Wahab to RM480,000, coming into effect today.
In a statement, DAP's Ketari state assemblyperson Young Shefura Othman said such proposals are only making rich Malays get richer while others remained in the B40 group (bottom 40 percent of income earners).
"The annual allowance of FGV chairperson will increase to RM480,000 from RM300,000. An increase of RM180,000.
"His monthly car allowance worth RM18,000 will be replaced by whatever car he wants (minimum 2,000cc) together with an annual expense of RM180,000 for car utilities. Wow!
"The chairperson also has a bodyguard and club allowance," she said.
