Anwar: Ongoing reforms essential for strengthening Malaysia's public service
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that was the matter raised by him when he chaired the meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Public Service Reform (JKK-PPA) this morning.
'Following the successful implementation of Phase 1 of the Civil Service Remuneration System (SSPA) and through an ongoing engagement process, various proposals for new civil service policy initiatives have been discussed, including the mobility and portability of civil servants to ensure they are more competitive in the future,' he said in a Facebook post.
The prime minister said he believed that the reforms should be implemented carefully and inclusively by prioritising the interests of the people, the welfare of civil servants and the country's fiscal capacity.
The SSPA replaces the Malaysian Remuneration System (SSM), which comes into effect on Dec 1, 2024.
It is designed as a performance-based remuneration system in line with the government's aspiration to enhance the civil service's productivity and safeguard the wellbeing of civil servants.
Under the SSPA, officers in the Executive Group and the Management and Professional Group who opt for the scheme will receive a 15 per cent salary adjustment in phases, namely eight percent for Phase 1 in December 2024, and another seven per cent for Phase 2 in January 2026.
Meanwhile, the Top Management Group will receive a seven per cent salary adjustment with four per cent for Phase 1 and three per cent for Phase 2. — Bernama

Pas VP: Ahmad Fadhli's post does not reflect party's official stance
KOTA BARU: Pas vice-president Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah has clarified that a recent Facebook post by the party's information chief, Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, does not represent the party's official position. Mohd Amar said the statement made by Ahmad Fadhli, who is also the Pasir Mas member of parliament, should be viewed as a personal opinion rather than a directive or decision endorsed by the party. "As far as I know, he has deleted the posting. When someone deletes a statement, it shows that he acknowledges there may have been an error. "There is no need for him to issue a further apology as it was not a party directive, but rather an individual expression," he told reporters after launching the Kelantan State Welfare Day here today. Mohd Amar said the issue should not be blown out of proportion, as it had already been addressed. Ahmad Fadhli came under fire on social media after posting a controversial image regarding the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. The illustration featured three animals — a goat and a sheep fighting over a banana, with a monkey acting as the judge. In his post, Ahmad Fadhli suggested that the goat and sheep would be better off resolving the conflict without the monkey as mediator. He also shared a news article on the ongoing tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. The post drew criticism from many quarters, including the Prime Minister's political secretary, Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim, who on Tuesday urged Ahmad Fadhli to issue a public apology to the people of Thailand and Cambodia. Kamil described the statement as rash, disrespectful, and damaging to Malaysia's international reputation. "Malaysia will not, under any circumstances, condone rash and foolish behaviour that demonstrates a lack of respect for other nations, particularly our neighbours," he said. He added that such remarks were inappropriate and brought shame to the country.
