PETALING JAYA: The government will implement a salary restructuring exercise through the Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA) for civil servants, starting Dec 1, 2024.
This will involve a 15% adjustment for executives and professionals and 7% for top management, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim while tabling Budget 2025 in the Dewan Rakyat on Friday (Oct 18).
On top of that, civil servants in Grade 56 and below will be given RM500 in special cash aid, including those appointed on contract, Anwar announced.
Retired civil servants, including army veterans on pension and those without pension, will also receive RM250 in cash aid.
This aid will be channeled in February next year, he said.
"This means in December, there will be a raise, January, there is a raise and in February, there is a bonus," Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said.
