Move to contract system could worry civil service and public, says FT Bersatu secretary

KUALA LUMPUR: The move to introduce a contract system for civil service recruitment might worry government employees and the public, says Federal Territories Bersatu state secretary Mahathir Mohd Rais (pic).

"The economy is in a tough spot, with the ringgit's value going down and GDP growth not hitting targets. This situation is tough for the rakyat. Things like higher taxes, electric bills, and cutting back on subsidies are all making life more expensive," he said.
