KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim urges all civil servants to provide better service to the people in line with the salary adjustment to be announced by the government.
Emphasising this point at the launch of the Malaysia Madani Civil Servants' Housing programme in Bandar Sri Permaisuri, the Prime Minister said the method and details of the salary adjustment will be announced, with some details to be revealed this month.

"Although there are dissenting voices that never understand gratitude and never accept reality, believe me, I will announce it later, partly in August and fully as I promised in October in the national Budget. And it will be implemented starting Dec 1.
"What is the scheme for civil servants? It is the highest salary increase in the nation's history since independence, for two reasons: first, the country is developing but there has been no comprehensive salary review for 12 years, and second, to recognise their role," he said.
The Prime Minister also said that civil servants need to work together with the government in developing the country.
Also present were Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Dr Zaliha Mustafa, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali, Public Service director-general Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz, and Bandar Tun Razak MP Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. - Bernama
