Pleasing the Civil Servants or kingmakers?


The election is definitely around the corner.

THE PM has just announced a half month bonus for Hari Raya ahead of Budget 2013 with a minimum payment of RM500.

Pensioners were generously  included getting a special pay-out of RM500.

Not to be outdone, the Penang State government also gave a half month bonus with a minimum pay-out of RM600.

Similarly, the Selangor government decided also to give half a month bonus with a minimum of RM500. However, they topped it up with RM200 for Muslim civil servants in their Sayang Selangor savings scheme while non-Muslims got RM200 in BSN premium saving certificates.

What a bonanza!

Have the civil servants become kingmakers?
