Chief Minister Mohd Shafie Apdal says the payment is to encourage civil servants to improve the quality of their service.
The Sabah government will make a RM500 special payment to civil servants in the state in January next year, said Chief Minister Mohd Shafie Apdal.
"This special payment is in line with the federal government's announcement in 2020 Budget," he said when tabling the 2020 State Budget in the State Legislative Assembly yesterday. "The gradual increase will be implemented beginning the middle of 2020, depending on the state's financial position," he said.
"Carrying the theme ‘Accelerating Development for the People's Well-Being’, the budget is based on the aspirations and commitment of the state government to boost and accelerate state development for the well-being of the people," he said.
