The government has remained tight-lipped on the total expenses incurred from the use of private jets by Anwar Ibrahim since assuming the position of prime minister.

Alor Setar MP Afnan Hamimi from Perikatan Nasional requested the prime minister to disclose the cost of using the government’s private jet, as well as its destinations and purposes from December 2022 until April.

In response, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Sabah, Sarawak and Special Functions) Armizan Mohd Ali said the use of the government’s executive aircraft is a privilege enjoyed by all prime ministers.

Armizan added that Anwar, who is also Tambun MP, has used the government’s executive aircraft of the Global Express and Falcon types under the Royal Malaysian Air Force for official duties to 17 domestic destinations.
