Najib does not receive any other income - PM's Department

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak does not receive income from any company, the Prime Minister's Department (JPM) told the Dewan Rakyat in a written reply today.

Responding to Dr Ko Chung Sen (DAP-Kampar), JPM also said the prime minister did not receive any corporate credit card benefits.

To a question from Wong Chen (PKR-Kelana Jaya), JPM said the government exercised prudent spending in regards to the prime minister's protocol expenses during official visits in 2015 and 2016.

"The protocol expenses were limited to necessities without affecting the main objective of the official visits," according to JPM.

Wong had asked JPM about the amount spent on protocol in view of the prime minister's announcement that expenses involving the prime minister and Cabinet members' official visits would be cut.
