Pay hike proposal for cops justified, says Lam Thye


KUALA LUMPUR: The proposed annual and salary increment for the police force are justified given the rising cost of living, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

The Alliance for a Safe Community chairman said the government should seriously consider the police's proposal, especially adjusting the starting salary for police constable from RM1,441 to at least the national minimum wage rate of RM1,500.
