Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil today hinted that there may be some good news for civil servants next year, most likely involving a salary increase.
Fahmi, who is the Unity Government’s spokesperson said the good news would also involve the pensioners and would be announced by either the Prime Minister or the Chief Secretary to the Government.
“First of all, we have approved the White Paper on Progressive Wage Policy for workers in the private sector. So starting in 2024 or the first year of its implementation, we hope to be able to give better income for the private sector workers.
“At the same time, for the public sector, the Prime Minister has said before that we already carried out a review of the salary scheme and by 2024, there will be a salary increase for civil servants.”
Earlier in his speech, Fahmi also said the Cabinet had also made several decisions involving civil servants and government pensioners.
“…so, expect good news in 2024,” he said.
