The third reading of the Supply Bill received more votes in favour.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Dewan Rakyat sitting today passed the Supply Bill 2012 (Budget 2012) amounting to RM232.8 billion.
The 2012 Budget was passed at about 10.40pm when the third reading by Second Finance Minister Husni Hanadzlah received more votes in favour.
Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin were also present at the Dewan Rakyat tonight.
On Oct 7, Najib tabled the Budget 2012 comprising RM181.6 billion for operating expenditure and RM51.2 billion for development expenditure.
Earlier, Deputy Home Minister Abu Seman Yusop, who was winding up the debate for the Home Ministry, said the ministry would review the system of grading the posts and salary for senior officers in the Royal Malaysian Police.
He said the move was appropriate as the grading for the salary and posts of police officers had not been reviewed for the past 30 years although the system of establishment for staff in the other government departments had been improved several times.
Thus, he said the ministry would instruct the Royal Malaysian Police to provide a proposal paper on the improvement of the grades as a whole to be presented to the Public Service Department (PSD).
Abu Seman also said that the ministry and the PSD also reviewed the salary scheme and special allowances for junior officers in the Prisons Department.
