KUALA NERANG, June 25 — A proposal for ministers to take a pay and allowance cut is not the solution that will help the people deal with the rising cost of living now, said Rural Development Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid.

"The Prime Minister and his team in the Cabinet have put in a lot of effort, especially ministers who are directly involved with the economy and the prices of goods like the Finance Ministry and those related to the economy, commerce, agriculture and public works. He was asked to comment on a suggestion by former International Trade and Industry Minister, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz who proposed a cut in the minister's salary to show empathy for the people who are now struggling with the economic crisis because of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

He encouraged those with ideas that can help the people deal with the issue to forward them to the government and the Prime Minister.
