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?
