ALOR STAR – The Kedah government has approved a special financial assistance of RM1,000 to be given to each state civil servant and members of the state administration, in appreciation of their contributions and sacrifices.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, when tabling the Kedah Budget 2022 at the state assembly today, said the government saw civil servants still fulfilling their trust and responsibilities despite limitations during the movement control order period in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said based on the data, all government affairs still run smoothly and state revenue collection has increased.
“This year witnessed various challenges and trials that hit the state of Kedah. The entire state public administration machinery has always cooperated and given high commitment in disaster management during the Covid-19 crisis.
“The involvement of state public machinery to manage PKOB (disaster operations control centres), PPV (vaccination centres), PKRC (quarantine and treatment centres), and various aid channels facilitated by PICK (National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme).”
He said of late, the state is facing flood disasters in several districts due to unexpected heavy rains and the high tide phenomena, adding that district PKOB are activated around the clock while several temporary evacuation centres have been opened to help those affected.
Sanusi hopes that the special aid will inspire all state civil servants to continue improving on service delivery to the people. – Bernama, November 14, 2021
