Selangor beats Najib to civil service bonus game

The Selangor government has trumped BN’s August civil service bonus by handing out its own Hari Raya half-month bonus for state civil servants plus an additional RM200 savings top up.

Beating Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s announcement today of a federal bonus to be paid on August 9, Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim also announced its state bonus to be disbursed next week.

In what appears to be an annual competition between the ruling party and the Pakatan Rakyat state governments, Khalid today announced a half-month bonus or a minimum RM500 bonus to aid expenses for Hari Raya preparations.

NONE“The Selangor government has also decided to give an additional bonus in the form of Simpanan Selangorku as much as RM200 to each civil servant,” said the menteri besar in a statement today.

He said both bonuses will be credited into the civil servants’ bank accounts by next week.

Khalid added that the state has set aside RM20 million for the bonuses this year.

“The state government hops the bonus will ease the burden of civil servants in making preparations for Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

“At the same time, we also want to encourage civil servants to save for the future,” he said.

Najib meanwhile announced his half-month bonus, with a minimum payment of RM500, for civil servants and a special payment of RM500 for government pensioners, as a show of government's appreciation to the civil servants.

The prime minister said the roughly RM2.2 billion in payouts was a show of the government’s “financial capability and fiscal position”.

  1. “Promises fulfilled” !!! NZ is ranked among the top in the world for democracy and non-corruption, we see clearly yr 55 years of tragedy. UMNO & BN are corrupt, criminal and evil to the bones. US$100 billion, not million, have been stolen, plundered or mismanaged. Massive corruption eg: The CM ruling 31 years in Sarawak. The world is calling for his arrest & PM Najib pretends everything is beautiful, promises fulfilled. Deceit, gerrymandering; state-controlled media; vote buying; phantom voters; postal votes; illegal immigrant voters; public resources & machinery used to get votes for incumbent gov’t.... using your tax money & money stolen from you to destroy you. Wake up Malaysia!

  2. How long would Mahathir, Najib, all the BN/UMNO/PBB cronies, MACC, Police chiefs last in a democratic country like NZ, UK or Canada? 1 month? In a neutral position, we see clearly your 55 years of tragedy. UMNO & BN are corrupt, criminal and evil to the bones. A hundred US$ billion, not million, have been stolen, plundered or mismanaged. Massive corruption eg: The CM ruling 31 years in Sarawak. The world is calling for his arrest & PM Najib pretends everything is beautiful, saying: Promises fulfilled!

  3. Barisan’s collapse has started in a vicious spiral. Make sure you give Opposition 90% of the vote, the cronies will cling to 10%, then BN trim your 90% to 70% through: Gerrymandering. Frauds in electoral roll with aliens, duplicates & phantoms. Buying & bribing…all using your money!. Biased EC Chiefs from UMNO. Unfair monopoly of media, heli, vehicles, boats, venues & resources. All using your money to destroy you!
