Cuepacs wants relook at cost-cutting

PETALING JAYA: The country’s civil servants union has urged the Government to re-examine the stricter controls on overtime and other measures introduced to optimise public expenditure, saying it could hit lower-ranking staff badly.

Cuepacs president Datuk Azih Muda said many lower ranking public servants depended on their overtime to supplement their basic salaries in order to make ends meet in view of the rising cost of living.
