“One million gets you nothing nowadaysâ€
This is reported in the NST today:
She said since Todt, who was appointed last month, was serving and promoting the country on a voluntary basis, it was only fair that the government covered his expenses.
“Just because he is volunteering his services, you cannot expect him to pay out of his own pocket.
“This budget is not for his personal use, it is for the expenses incurred when he meets top people from television and the media.
“Besides, RM1 million in Europe gets you nothing nowadays,” she said at the Parliament lobby.
The ’she’ refered to is a minister in charge of Tourism.
