Civil servants' wages unable to cover current living expenses, says Cuepacs


Cuepacs president Datuk Dr Adnan Mat.

SUNGAI PETANI: The current wage levels of civil servants are considered inadequate to cover living expenses, given the increasingly apparent rise in the cost of living, says Congress of Union of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) president Datuk Dr Adnan Mat.

Therefore, he said measures to increase the salaries of public servants should be implemented immediately without having to wait for the full implementation of the new Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA).
