Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services Malaysia president Datuk Azih Muda said the rising cost of living was not only felt by civil servants in urban areas, but also in rural areas.“Although the provision of COLA allowance is not the same, the RM50 increase is standardised for all civil servants in urban and rural areas,” he said.
Azih also welcomed the government’s initiative to introduce an ex-gratia death benefit of up to RM150,000 payable to the dependants of the deceased, and to bring forward the annual salary movement for civil servants who have died in service before the salary movement date. Azih also welcomed the RM200 monthly special allowance which would benefit 14,400 Fire and Rescue Department personnel.“I hope this gives them joy for the sacrifices they make,” he said.
Describing it as good news, Radio Television Malaysia broadcast journalist Hanna Adlint Nasatiun Ahmad, 35, said it showed the government’s appreciation of civil servants who contributed to and served the people and the country.
