An Indian Giver?


Now that the new Public Services have been withdrawn, the government demands that the two month's additional pension payments paid out to Civil servants be returned.

Apparently, the new amended SSM may not include pension payment review and adjustment.

The Malaysian Government Pensioners Association president Datuk Paduka Raja Wan Mahmood Pawan Teh said the association will meet the Pensions Department on March 20 to discuss issues related to the SBPA.

Hopefully, some arrangements can be made to ensure pensions are also adjusted with the new amended SSM.

If not, then it will be the unkindest cut of all for 580,000 pensioners.

It certainly seems like the government in this case has been an ersatzgiver -- taking back what they had given.
