The pension adjustment referred to will be implemented by operation
of law, specifically the Pension Adjustment Act 1980 (Act 238,

Recognising the support and commitment shown by civil
servants towards achieving the national development goal, I am
pleased to announce an additional bonus of half-month salary with a
minimum payment of RM500 and an assistance of RM500 to Government
pensioners. This will be paid together with the December salary
this year. For 2011, this totals to one month pay with a minimum
payment of RM1,000 for civil servants and RM1,000 for Government
pensioners. |
