December is a month to remember not just for Christmas and the long, year-end break but also salary increment for all civil servants, as announced by PMX earlier this year.
Civil servants will enjoy a whopping 13% increase in salaries.
This increment will involve RM10 billion of funds, which is, by far, the highest funds involved in history JUST for salary increment alone. With the ongoing subsidies, will it affect our economy?
As PMX said in Parliament today (June 25), the increase in civil servants’ salaries will not affect the economic situation in Malaysia, but there’s a catch.
“The targeted subsidies and the economic framework have to be well planned and executed.”
During Parliamentary session today, PMX admitted that the government has faced financial challenges but there is a reason why he even considered increasing their salaries.
“As the father figure in this government, I have to consider the fact that their salaries have not seen an increase in 12 years. A slight increase will not help civil servants,” PMX explained.
For illustration purposes only
He also highlighted it’s about how government plans and executes the economic framework to make sure the economy in the country will not be affected after a huge fund is involved to increase civil servants’ salaries.
Do you agree with his take on this?
