Sarawak mulls salary hike for civil servants to thwart graft
Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg says the state government is studying the possibility of increasing the salaries of civil servants as a way to fight corruption. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, November 10, 2022.
He said the financial strain the civil servants faced gives rise to the tendency to ask for under-the-table money and abuse of power. Abang Johari said it’s because all pensionable posts are subject to the approval of the Public Services Department as all pensions are paid by the federal government.He also hinted the sovereign wealth fund – the bill for its incorporation he is tabling at the Budget session of the state assembly beginning November 21 – could provide the funds for the increase.
