PUTRAJAYA, Aug 16 — Civil servants across all grades will have their salaries increased under the new pay structure that will be phased in starting this December, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced today.
The first phase of the increment will be 8 per cent for those in the lower and middle grades, and 4 per cent for the upper management.
The second phase of the scheme will take effect January 2026 and will see the two groups receive another 7 per cent and 3 per cent increase, respectively.
The new salary rates are part of Anwar’s reform of the entire civil service remuneration system. The revamped Public Service Remuneration System will replace the former scheme that Anwar said would stress on performance-based incentives.
“We met so many times to discuss this… that is why I don’t want people to think of this as a move to raise support,” he said in an address delivered to some 10,000 civil servants here.
“We took this step because we feel this is a just move for civil servants.”
