SHAH ALAM, Nov 10 — The state government has announced a special cash incentive worth two and a half months’ salary, or a minimum of RM1,000, for its civil servants.
With a total financial implication of RM40.03 million, Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the Special Financial Assistance (BKK) would be paid in stages starting in December.
The Menteri Besar said BKK’s first phase, amounting to one month’s salary, was disbursed in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri earlier this year.
The second payment of one month’s pay will be disbursed on December 28, while the remaining half month’s salary will be in February next year, in preparation for the 2024 schooling session, which is expected to commence in March.
“As a token of gratitude and recognition for the civil servants’ hard work and dedication alongside those involved in contributing to the state’s success, I am pleased to announce the Special Financial Assistance (BKK) for the year 2023 to all employees of the Selangor state administration, including Federally-funded government service members.
“The achievements recorded by Selangor signify the collaborative efforts of the state government at all levels to ensure its continued prosperity.
“Selangor remains exemplary as a wealthy and harmonious state, undivided, alongside a consistently healthy democratic climate,” he said during the tabling of the 2024 Selangor Budget at the Selangor State Legislative Assembly earlier today.
