GEORGE TOWN (Bernama): The Penang government has announced a special Aidilfitri bonus of a half-month's salary or a minimum of RM1,000 to all state civil servants.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the bonus is given because the state government was concerned with the rising cost of living in the wake of the festive season.
