In light of the growing cost of living, Anwar recognised the outdated salary structure and the multiple demands for increase, as reported by Kosmo.
He assured civil servants that an update on the increment will be delivered alongside the tabling of Budget 2025.
Anwar emphasised the government’s commitment in finding ways to address the salary issue while tackling past mismanagement.
The announcement follows calls from the Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public Service (Cuepacs) to expedite the salary review process due to the economic strain faced by many civil servants.
