Bonus for civil servants being studied: PM

Putra Jaya: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the government will study the payment of a bonus for civil servants for the Hari Raya Aidilfitri to be celebrated soon.

"We will look into it, there is still time," he said at a media conference at the special meeting room in his office, here, shortly after witnessing the signing of an agreement between the North Corridor Implementation Authority (NCIA) and four companies that had agreed to invest RM1.96 billion in the states in the Northern Corridor of Malaysia.

He said this when referring to the possibility that there would be good news for the 1.4 million civil servants following the request by Cuepacs which was still hopeful that the government would pay a half-month bonus to public servants although they would be receiving their annual increment this month.

The Cuepacs statement cropped up a day after Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa said the government had yet to discuss the bonus payment, and the announcement on the Annual Salary Increment (KGT) twice this year could be considered as a bonus. - Bernama
