Civil servant pay hike of 15 to 42.7pct expected - minister

 

Civil servants are expected to see their salary increase between 15 and 42.7 percent under the revised Public Service Remuneration System, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.

At a press conference in Putrajaya today, he said an overall picture of the salary hikes will be known next week.

He said details on the allocation for the civil servant salary increase would be made available in the 2025 Budget document.

The national budget is scheduled to be tabled by Prime Minister and Finance Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Oct 18.

Meanwhile, Fahmi said the Human Resources Ministry is still making efforts to register employers for incentives under the Progressive Wage Policy programme.

“If there are private companies that have not registered and want to register, they can register with the ministry.

“This proves that efforts undertaken by the Madani government are not only about increasing the salary of civil servants but also about helping the private sector,” he said.
