PSD should explain how pensions were adjusted

IN the recent pension adjustment exercise following the implementation of the new Sistem Saraan Perkhidmatan Awam (SSPA) or Public Service Remuneration System, the Public Service Department (PSD) should have provided pensioners with an explanatory note showing how their pensions were adjusted to the current SSPA scales.

This adjustment was carried out pursuant to the Pensions Adjustment Act 1980, which requires pensions to be aligned with current salaries.
