KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today announced an early incentive payment of RM2,000 to all civil servants in Grade 56 and below, including those on contract.
The payment, he said, was while awaiting the Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA) study, which was expected to be finalised by the end of next year.
He said all main public sector employees including uniformed personnel such as the police and military personnel, will receive RM1,000 each.
"An incentive payment of RM1,000 will also be extended to all government pensioners including veterans, be it with or without pensions.
"The payment will be made in one lump sum at the end February, to ease the burden of back to school preparation and preparation for the months of Ramadan and Syawal."
