Would U do it?

If you are Prime Minister, would you allocate $3.956 Billion a year for operational cost to finance the Prime Minister Department.

For your information the amount of

$3.956 Billion a year is equivalent to
$329 Million a month or equivalent to
$76 Million a week or equivalent to
$10 Million a day or equivalent to
$451 Thousand an hour.

For you information the amount of the amount of

$3.956 Billion a year is equivalent to about five (5) more as compared to financing the state government of Perak.

Would you as Prime Minister need 43,544 civil servants (in 2010) to staff the Prime Minister Department?


Footnote : Japan has 120 million citizens but only 380 000 civil servants. Malaysia has a population of about 27 million citizens so do you know how many civil servants has it got?
