KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 — Seputeh MP Teresa Kok today questioned why Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has not answered how much was spent during his six-day official working visit to Japan in May.
“Is this because the total cost of his official trip to Japan is higher than the total cost of then prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s official visits during his five-year premiership which costs RM44.1 million?” Kok asked. In today’s parliamentary session, Kok requested the prime minister to state the number of government officials and private personnel who have followed him during the trip and to present a cost breakdown of the expenses which were paid by the government.
He added that the greatest outcome of this visit between the highest leadership of both countries is the agreement to bring the tie between Japan and Malaysia from “Strategic Partnership” to “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership”.
