Cuepacs Demands RM700-RM2,500 Raise For Grades 1-54 

PUTRAJAYA, Feb 22 (Bernama) -- The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) today made a demand for the government to provide a pay rise of between RM700 and RM2,500 for Grades 1 to 54. Cuepacs president Datuk Omar Osman said the raise should be implemented through the existing Malaysian Remuneration Scheme (SSM) first before any changes are made in the New Public Service Remuneration Scheme (SBPA).

He was speaking to reporters after presenting a proposal at the SBPA review task force meeting here Wednesday. The requested raises were Grades 1 to 16 (RM700), Grades 17 to 26 (RM1,000) , Grades 27 to 40 (RM1500), Grades 41 to 48 (RM1800) and Grades 52 to 54 (RM2500), he added. -- BERNAMA
