A DAP lawmaker has questioned the necessity for FGV Holdings Bhd to propose, among others, a 60 percent hike in annual allowance for its chairperson Dzulkifli Abd Wahab to RM480,000, coming into effect today.<br /><br />In a statement, DAP's Ketari state assemblyperson Young Shefura Othman said such proposals are only making rich Malays get richer while others remained in the B40 group (bottom 40 percent of income earners).<br /><br />"The annual allowance of FGV chairperson will increase to RM480,000 from RM300,000. An increase of RM180,000.<br /><br />"His monthly car allowance worth RM18,000 will be replaced by whatever car he wants (minimum 2,000cc) together with an annual expense of RM180,000 for car utilities. Wow!<br /><br />"The chairperson also has a bodyguard and club allowance," she said.
