Critical service allowance was cut because it no longer met criteria, says PSD deputy DG

PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The abolition of the Critical Service Incentive Allowance (BIPK) involving 33 service schemes is because it no longer meets the criteria for granting the allowance, the Public Service Department (PSD).

PSD deputy director-general (Development) Datuk Suhaime Mahbar (pic) said BIPK was introduced in 1992 due to low recruitment in certain sectors at the time and to attract graduates to join public service.
