[KUALA LUMPUR] Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has announced new measures to curb public spending, including a 10 per cent cut in the entertainment allowance for ministers.
The 11 measures, which also freeze applications to renovate government offices, will start on Jan 1, 2014, state news agency Bernama reported late Monday, citing a statement by Najib.
