KUALA LUMPUR: The second phase of the civil service salary increase under the Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA) on Thursday (Jan 22) is not merely about figures, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said that instead, it represented a recognition of the dedication and commitment shown by civil servants in driving Malaysia's development.
Anwar stated that the implementation of this new salary hike is the highest in 12 years and the largest in the country's public service history.
"May this recognition serve as an incentive to continue serving with integrity, dedication, and national spirit. Together, let us drive Malaysia to its next level of excellence," he said in a Facebook post on Thursday.
The phase-two salary adjustment is a continuation of the pay hike under the SSPA announced in 2024, involving a total rate of 15 per cent for the Implementer Group and the Management and Professional (P&P) Group, and seven per cent for the Top Management Group (KPT).
Under Phase Two, the P&P Group receives an additional seven per cent increase, while the KPT receives a three per cent adjustment.- Bernama
