KUALA LUMPUR: The Dewan Rakyat today passed the Consolidated Fund (Expenditure Into Account) Bill 2022 that provides for RM107.72 billion in civil service expenditure for part of 2023.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the Finance Minister, said this gave temporary Parliamentary approval for the government to spend a portion of the total estimated expenses during the months prior to the retabling and passing of the Supply Bill for 2023.
“The estimated expenses under the bill, among others, include payments of emoluments for the civil servants, utilities, scholarships, social welfare aid as well as education and health services,” he said when tabling the special allocation, or Mini Budget, in the Dewan Rakyat today.
