Cuepacs to have final meeting with govt tomorrow

The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) will hold its final meeting with the government tomorrow to finalise pay issues among civil servants.

The results of the meeting will be announced by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob on Aug 30.

Its president Adnan Mat (above) said the meeting would hopefully provide relief to the 1.4 million civil servants who are under Grade 54 and below in the country.

He spoke to reporters at the Institut Latihan Islam Malaysia (ILIM) Wliayah Timur near Bukit Keluang last night.

Adnan said the government should prioritise raising the minimum wage and provide additional allowances for civil servants.

"We are confident that the government is able to consider, if not all, at least some of the things we have asked and discussed before," he said.
