Court backs government retirees on pension scheme

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court here has affirmed a decision by the Court of Appeal that struck down a “less favourable” amendment to the law provision concerning civil servants’ pensions.

A five-judge bench of the apex court, chaired by Court of Appeal judge Justice Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim, dismissed the appeal by the government and the director-general of the Public Service Department (PSD) because it had no merit.
