PAS today was accused of attacking “successful Malays and Muslims” when its MPs questioned the high wages and bonuses reaped by chief executive officers (CEOs) and senior management in government-linked companies (GLCs).
“(Ismee) is Malay, Muslim. It is as if PAS is targeting him simply because he is Muslim. That’s enough. Be thankful to Tabung Haji and thank God that Muslims from Malaysia can perform the Haj well because of Tabung Haji’s work.
“You keep deriding Muslims, even in your doa (prayer) you are asking for bad things. Why is that they will slam Muslims who are successful? Is this what PAS does? Assume the best. We are all Muslims,” he said during the committee level debate on the Human Resources Ministry budget.
He added that the Tabung Haji CEO also deserves the rewards as he oversees many different subsidiaries, from plantations to pilgrimages, and questioned why PAS has not questioned the pay of other GLC CEOs.
Mahfuz had during the second reading budget debates revealed that Ismee receives RM85,000 a month, while Dzulkefly today questioned why Sime Darby CEO Mohd Bakke Salleh received RM5.2 million in remuneration for the financial year 2011/2012.
