PRIME Minister Anwar Ibrahim has decided to use the vehicle that is available at the office and rejected a Mercedes S600.

The Prime Minister through a post on Facebook said the decision was made as he did not want any new expenses to be incurred.

“Yesterday, I refused to use a Mercedes S600 vehicle that was purchased and obtained by the Prime Minister’s Department before I came into office,” he said.

Anwar, 75, who was sworn in as the 10th Prime Minister before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah at the Istana Negara in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, previously announced that he would reduce unnecessary expenses in his administration. – Bernama, November 28, 2022

  • The car has already been purchased. So how can taxpayers money been saved with the PM action of NOT USING it? Should have done BEFORE the car was PURCHASED.
    If the car has yet to be delivered, SHOULD IMMEDIATELY cancel the purchase order and forfeit the deposit.
