    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. If you just go back to history and check what those MPs were earning, it is a paltry fraction of what we enjoy. Therefore, most of those people who served this nation through this Parliament then, we can dare say, worked for charity. It is our obligation as a nation to look at such selfless people who did so well for this nation and laid the foundation in terms of the legislation in this country. It is not very good for us to look at them, most of them who are wallowing in abject poverty, continuing with the same lifestyle when we have an opportunity to make their lives a bit more bearable. We have to go deeper to the politics in this nation. When we talk about former parliamentarians, we are talking about people who actually served in political offices. We have to try to dig deeper on why, in this country, even then, the best brains would leave any kind of employment to join politics or choosing to serve this nation through political offices comparative The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
