Guest: Dr Firdausi Suffian, Political Economist | Wong Chen, MP for Subang
Last year, the government announce that it will cut their salaries by 20 percent, and recently, PM Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim confirmed that the constituency funds for MPs will be reduced by close to 70%, down from RM3.8 million to RM1.8 million.

Then, we speak to an MP about how this will affect them.
