KOTA BARU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pic) will announce several fixed remunerations for civil servants, including teachers, in the next week or two.
Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said he would chair the first management meeting on the salary scheme adjustment next week.
"I think the old approach to the salary adjustment scheme needs to be revamped – wait for the announcement and some adjustments within the next one or two weeks," he said.
He said this at the Cakna Madani Programme with education services officers at the Universiti Sains Malaysia Health Campus near Kubang Kerian here on Sunday (July 23). Also present was Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.
On July 13, Anwar said that a proposal will be made for the civil service salary scheme to be improved in stages based on the country's economic capabilities and that it would be discussed in a meeting with Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali and Public Service Department director-general Datuk Dr Zulkapli Mohamad before the state elections take place on Aug 12. – Bernama
