Govt doubles Cuepacs grant to RM2mil

KUALA LUMPUR: The annual government grant for Cuepacs has been doubled to RM2mil from next year and the Government will also consider giving bonuses to civil servants if the country’s financial position improves, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.

The Prime Minister said that Cuepacs will receive an allocation of RM1mil as a one-off payment for the congress to repair its headquarters in Pudu which was said to be in a dilapidated state.

The Government had earlier raised the quantum of the annual grant to the congress from RM350,000 in 2009 to RM1mil this year. Najib said the Government understood what Cuepacs wanted but the Government had to be realistic in its spending.

“We will do the best (for the people) but within the capability (of the Government). I would be most happy if I could pay bonus because I will be able to see the smiles on the faces of the 1.3 million civil servants,” he said at the Cuepacs 25th triennial seminar and convention here yesterday.

Najib said that when Cuepacs demanded a RM500 bonus for each civil servant every year, the Government had to fork out close to RM1bil. He advised Cuepacs to refrain from having a confrontational approach with the Government.


Comment:

What I see more important is not the 'bonus issue' per se (even though a bonus would be good), but more importantly the M'sian government must control and monitor the prices of essential raw materials and goods/products, so that it will not be too high and burden the lower income groups of people in the society. Whats the point of having a high salary, when you have to also pay higher prices for the goods? ; I noticed that in developed countries like, UK and Australia, even though the salaries of workers are high, but the prices of essential goods are keep relatively low ; Ask any M'sians and they will immediately tells you that the prices of goods are getting higher by the day, now thats what the M'sian government must tackle.
