KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today urged all civil servants to provide far better service to the people in line with the salary adjustment to be announced by the government.
Emphasising this point at the launch of the Malaysia MADANI Civil Servants’ Housing programme in Bandar Sri Permaisuri, Anwar said the method and details of the salary adjustment will be announced, with some details to be revealed this month.
“Although there are dissenting voices that never understand gratitude and never accept reality, believe me, I will announce it late, partly in August and fully as I promised in October in the national Budget. And it will be implemented starting 1 December.
“What is the scheme for civil servants? It is the highest salary increase in the nation’s history since independence, for two reasons. First, the country is developing but there has been no comprehensive salary review for 12 years and second, to recognise their role,” he said.
Also present were Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Dr Zaliha Mustafa, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali, Public Service Director-General Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Abdul Aziz and MP for Bandar Tun Razak Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
