PUTRAJAYA – Civil servants are expected to receive a salary increase of between 15 and 42.7% under the revised Public Service Remuneration System, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
At a press conference here today, Fahmi said an overall picture of salary hikes, especially involving the implementation group, will be known next week.
“Insya-Allah, starting next week, we will know the overall picture of the salary increase…and the increase for ‘kumpulan pelaksana’ (implementation group) is expected to be the highest of all, while the group involving secretary-generals or for example, the Communications Ministry director, will see a lower percentage of increase,” he said.
Fahmi said details on the allocation for the civil servant salary increase would be made available in the Budget 2025 document, which is scheduled to be tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the finance minister, on October 18.
In another development, Fahmi said the Human Resources Ministry is still making efforts to attract and register employers for incentives under the Progressive Wage Policy programme.
“If there are private companies that have not registered and want to register, they can register with HR Ministry. This proves that efforts undertaken by the Madani government are not only about increasing the salary of civil servants but also about helping the private sector,” he said. – August 7, 2024
