Kuala Lumpur: The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) hopes that the Cabinet can immediately approve the proposal to start a task force to review the public service salary scheme.
Cuepacs President Datuk Adnan Mat in a statement Saturday said he hoped that the task force would not be given a long deadline to provide their findings to ensure that the findings are relevant to the current economic environment which is rapidly changing, significantly increasing the cost of living that are affecting all parties.
“Cuepacs is also ready to cooperate with this task force to provide a proper workers’ point of view. It is to ensure that the recommendations to be submitted later are accepted by the civil servants, who are the beneficiaries,” he said.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the government would review the public service salary scheme nationwide, to be discussed at the Cabinet meeting next week.
