KUALA LUMPUR: Some 1.6 million civil servants are in for good news tomorrow when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announces the details of the civil servant salary adjustment mechanism.
The prime minister is expected to make the announcement at the 19th Civil Service Premier Assembly (Majlis Amanat Perdana Perkhidmatan Awam) event which will be held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre.
This salary raise , which is expected to be between 15 and 42.7 percent will put smiles on some 1.6 million civil servants, allowing them to alleviate financial pressures and reduce the burden of the rising cost of living.
This announcement is highly anticipated by the public sector workforce, who have not received a significant salary raise for many years.
Public Service Department deputy director-general (operations) Datuk Mohd Shaiful Ibrahim had earlier said all civil servants will receive new salary rates starting in December.
He said a calculation service will also be provided at the event for those who want to calculate their salary increase.
