KUCHING – The Sarawak government has agreed to give a special Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Gawai aid of RM500 to the state’s civil servants.

In a statement today, the Chief Minister’s Office said the aid will be paid next month, before the two celebrations.

“This payment is in appreciation of the deeds and sacrifices of state civil servants in shouldering the responsibility of providing services to the rakyat, especially when the state and country are going through a very challenging period.

“The state government hopes this aid can ease civil servants’ financial burden, and be an incentive for them to continue serving with full dedication.” – Bernama, April 28, 2021
