Civil servants' salary increase appropriate, reasonable and fair, says Sim


SHAH ALAM: The salary revision for civil servants announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in conjunction with Labour Day yesterday is appropriate and reasonable, considering the increased efficiency of government services, says Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong.

He said that the over 13% salary increase, which is the highest rate in the history of the country's public service, is also fair to public servants, as the salary structure for the country's "frontline" has not seen drastic changes for more than 10 years.
