Lifestyle Allowance?

Tuesday November 30, 2010

No staff or allowance for PM's wife

THE Prime Minister's wife does not have regular staff or contract employees working for her.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak told Liew Chin Tong (DAP-Bukit Bendera) in a written reply that officers from the Prime Minister's Office would occasionally assist her in carrying out her official duties.

He said the Government also did not provide an allowance or fixed annual allowance for overseas trips for the wife of the Prime Minister.

"However, under the Privileges and Special Allowances of Members of Parliament (Remuneration ) Act, it is stated that she is entitled to claim for expenses such as fees, meals, accommodation, lifestyle allowance and clothing while accompanying the Prime Minister during his official visits overseas and locally," he said.

Wow wee....if the PM makes official visits every day, locally and internationally, does that mean the allowance will snowball everyday too? No matter whether she has programs or not, the word is "accompany".

Lifestyle allowance hey........any girls don't like it please raise your hand...

Do you know under the Cost Reduction thingy my company does, if you get meals during your outstation duties, you're not entitled for the subsistence allowance? That means if you're send for a course provided with breaks and lunch, you'll get 0 for claims on that day. No matter where it is in Malaysia. Lucky you Rosmah! Fees paid for, super duper meals served, accommodation tip top, lifestyle allowance and clothing given too?????? Good God.....see how life in this world works. Life is so full of unfairness.

Just what the heck is Lifestyle Allowance? My guess would be hair-stylist - no. 1, then comes Spa, Pedicure, Manicure, Body Massage, make-up specialist, etc etc.....and clothing too??? Does that include designer bags and jewellery??? Do you think this allowance has limits?

Somebody should write a book on this. Just like the book I read - How Malaysian Government is Spending the Money. I forgot the actual title, but it was proper revelation of how they are spending my tax money. Good God!!!!
