malaysiakini on the EXTRAVAGENT LIFESTYLE of LEADERS

We spend at least RM9,400,000 per annum on housing just 2 Ministers ie. the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister according to this malaysiakini article Pak Lah: Gov't spends RM6mil on my house.
So between the two of them, the nation has to fork out almost RM783,000 each month. Don't you think that's a ludicrously high amount to splurge on housing?
I suppose the money is paid to Putrajaya Holdings that is owned by the government and which is not making any profits.
I read somewhere that each year the government has to allocate funds to them to operate ~ otherwise they will not be able to maintain and operate all the white elephants in Putrajaya.
Before the government owned properties in Kenny Hills and there was no need to pay rentals. Now the government owns the Putrajaya company but has to fork out amounts fit for kings.
If we take that JUMBO-sized cabinet and do some estimates, we could come up with a guess of RM25MIL each year for the entire cabinet.
It should be interesting to discover what is the breakdown for rentals and renovations. The latter should not be a recurring sum and is usually absorbed by the landlord and calculated into the rental.
Now we get an idea when they tell us
"Change your LIFESTYLE LA"

If this is what it costs on the house, think what it will cost to run the Jab.Perdana Menteri ?
