Of pensions and politicians


MY friend, who was a teacher for 24 years and five months, was short of seven months to qualify for a full pension.

He is now receiving just RM1,100 a month whereas his colleague who put in exactly 25 years of service is receiving a full pension of RM2,000 monthly. This is the situation of a government servant.
