PM to announce several fixed remunerations for civil servants

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will announce several fixed remunerations for civil servants, including teachers, in the next week or two.

Anwar said he will chair the first management meeting on the salary scheme adjustment next week.

“I think the old approach to the salary adjustment scheme needs to be revamped, wait for the announcement and some adjustments within the next one or two weeks,” the finance minister said.

He said this at the Cakna Madani Programme with education services officers at the Universiti Sains Malaysia Health Campus near Kubang Kerian, Kelantan today. Also present was Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.

On July 13, Anwar said that a proposal will be made for the civil service salary scheme to be improved in stages based on the country’s economic capabilities.

This will be discussed in a meeting with Chief Secretary to the Government Mohd Zuki Ali and Public Service Department director-general Zulkapli Mohamad before the state elections on Aug 12, he added.
