Labour Day surprise: Anwar announces civil servants’ salary bump of more than 13% starting Dec 1

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim… Civil.servants’ overall income must exceed RM2,000 per month starting this year.

PUTRAJAYA – Music to the ears of civil servants, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today announced a salary increase of more than 13%, starting December 1 this year.

The increase in civil servants’ salaries will cost the government approximately RM10 billion

The Labour Day announcement will likely be celebrated by civil servants, following reports that pensions for new civil servants are set to be scrapped, as the government faces a ballooning financial burden caused by an increasing number of retirees and longer life expectancy.

Civil servants’ overall income, comprising salary and fixed allowances, must exceed RM2,000 per month starting this year, he added.

“This increase in civil servants’ salaries will cost the government approximately RM10 billion,” he added.
