马来西亚反贪污委员会，今日在官网公布希盟政府内阁部长和国会议员的收入。其中，每月收入最高者为工程部长巴鲁比安，达到10万8056令吉（约3万5685新元），其次就是财政部长林冠英（2万8544元）。 首相敦马则位居第四，即7万5861令吉（约2万5052元）。假设有第十三个月花红，预计其年收入可高达32万5676元。另外，副首相阿兹莎的月收入为5万9048令吉（约1万9500新元）。 马国反贪会声称，要求议员申报财产，旨在使政府领导更为透明，民众可查阅和得知政府公务员和议员的财产状况。 根据反贪会网站，目前已申报财产的希盟议员多达82人、有官职者多达40人，尚有13内阁成员未申报。 网站显示一些议员有申报配偶和孩子的收入，但所公佈的是有关议员的个人每月收入，并不包括他们家人的收入。 这些收入包括了有关国会议员的每月薪金、津贴和其他收入。 网站也注明由於存在技术问题，网站目前只显示总收入，而问题解决后，才能显示与財產所有权相关的更详细信息。 最低月入议员逾五千新元 月收入第二高的是財长林冠英，他也是峇眼国会议员和亚逸布爹州议员。第三名为贸消部长拿督斯里赛夫丁纳苏申，为7万7629令吉。 在所有已呈报財產的国会议员中，甲洞国会议员林立迎月收入最少，仅为1万5850令吉（约5千234新元）。 原本反贪会定于10月15日公布议员财产，不过为了给更多部长和议员有时间申报，才展延至今日才公布。 假设一名马国普通公务员月收入是3500令吉，加上一个月花红，年收入约为4万5500令吉。与收入最高的工程部长巴鲁比安140万4728令吉的年收入对比，薪资差距约为30倍。
