KUCHING – Chief Minister Datuk Abang Johari Openg today announced a special bonus of 1.5 months’ salary, or a minimum of RM2,000, for Sarawak civil servants, to be paid by year-end.

Speaking at the state assembly here, he said federal civil servants working in the state will get a one-off payment of RM500 in the first quarter of 2021.

“During the Covid-19 pandemic, members of the Sarawak and federal civil service, including doctors, nurses, health workers, uniformed bodies, and immigration and other front-line personnel, have worked tirelessly to protect the rakyat. Alhamdulillah, the Covid-19 pandemic has been contained to a manageable level.

“In doing so, they have risked their own safety and sacrificed their comfort. There are also countless other members of the civil service who are working behind the scene, away from the glare of publicity, but working diligently in their respective workplaces.

“To all of them, I say thank you.” – Bernama, November 13, 2020
