JOHOR BAHRU | The second Madani Budget that will be discussed this October will include the adjustment of the salary scales of lecturers, professors, and civil servants, according to the government.
The Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that it is a temporary solution until a thorough investigation into wages and pension plans for civil servants is completed by the end of the coming year.
“I see that the salary adjustment of lecturers, professors, and civil servants has not been reviewed or increased for 10,12 years.
“Even though according to the allocation, every 10 years there must be an adjustment (of salary), as the Prime Minister, I have to solve this problem,” he said at the ‘Temu Anwar Johor Bahru’ program held at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Skudai and attended by almost 4,000.
He adds that a committee had been created to review the adjustment.
