Ex-deputy minister pays staff out of own pocket
3.20pm: Former youth and sports deputy minister Steven Sim Chee Keong (photo) says he is paying some of his staff out-of-pocket after they lost their jobs following the collapse of the federal government.
"Working in a political office often involves the risk of instability in one's career and livelihood.
"One of them resigned two months ago from his job as a journalist to join me. Monday 24 Feb was his first day in my office. And also his last.
"I told them that I will ensure they are paid for the next two months, out of my pocket," he says. - Mkini
