SIBU: Civil servants working in re-mote areas in the state could be getting higher allowances by next year.
Cuepacs deputy president Aziz Muda said it would forward to the Federal Government its request for an increment to be included in the New Public Service Remuneration Scheme (SBPA).
“We are drafting the proposed hike for all the 180 types of allowances which include Cost of Living Allowance (Cola), housing and regional allowances. We will be submitting it to the Government in June. We hope it will be approved and implemented this year,” he said at a press conference after a dialogue with Sibu Water Board Employees Union on Friday night.
Aziz was asked whether Cuepacs would look into the requests of civil servants working in remote areas who had requested for higher allowances, as prices of goods there were higher compared with those in urban areas due to high transportation charges.
“Our proposal for this increase in allowances fall under Pisa (Public Service Regional Allowance Plan) where we are proposing to restructure the whole scheme.”
He also said Cuepacs was thankful to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for including three of its officials in the special committee to review the New Public Service Remuneration Scheme. The scheme has been drawing lots of complaints over its implementation.
“Our president, deputy president and finance secretary are the three who will work with others in the special committee to come up with a fair and just salary structure. We hope that during the three-month period till April 14, we can solve all the issues pertaining to the remuneration scheme.”
He added that Cuepacs had a formula for the special committee to look into, adding that it would be submitting five demands to improve the scheme.
Among the demands were a review of salary adjustment for those in Grade 54 and below, a review of salary for those in the maximum scale and also seniority to staff opting for the scheme.
“We also want a review of all the 1,300 service schemes under the Malaysian Remuneration Scheme (SSM) including other grades which are not covered under SBPA and for public servants be given salary increment according to the Dec 31, 2011 salary, before the salary adjustment under SBPA.”

Civil servants urged to adopt positive working attitude
THE state government has unveiled a good budget and viable plans for Perak but all of it will become ineffective without the cooperation of its civil servants, said Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.
Calling on them to put their best foot forward, he added that the state required the help of civil servants to implement and execute what it had planned.
“We need our civil servants to make our plans a success.
“And when the plans work out, it will not only be my achievement. It will become our achievement,” Dr Zambry said during an executive talk for civil servants recently.
Civil servants, he added, should always adopt positive thinking when carrying out their duties.
“It is impossible to achieve much without positive thinking.
“It is our responsibility to do our job well and to ensure that we deliver to the people,” he said.
Dr Zambry said civil servants should be fast, efficient and accurate in their work while being accommodating to others.
They should never act like Little Napoleons, he said.

SBPA: Tempoh 3 bulan wujudkan skim terbaik
KUALA LUMPUR 23 Jan. - Kongres Kesatuan Pekerja-pekerja Di Dalam Perkhidmatan Awam (CUEPACS) berharap pasukan petugas khas yang diberi tempoh tiga bulan bagi menyemak skim Saraan Baru Perkhidmatan Awam (SBPA) mampu menjadikan skim itu yang terbaik dan diterima semua penjawat awam.
Presidennya, Datuk Omar Osman berkata, sebelum ini ramai penjawat awam tidak berpuas hati dan memahami isi kandungan skim tersebut.
"Jadi kami berharap, selepas tiga bulan hasil yang diterima mampu memuaskan hati semua pihak dan mereka benar-benar memahami maksud yang terkandung dalam skim itu.
"Tiga bulan adalah satu tempoh yang wajar dan kami berterima kasih kepada Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak," katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.
Beliau mengulas kenyataan Najib semalam yang memberi jaminan semakan semula SBPA oleh pasukan petugas khas akan memberi kepuasan menyeluruh kepada setiap peringkat perkhidmatan awam.
Menurut Najib, pasukan petugas khas itu yang diberi tempoh tiga bulan akan melakukan semakan sebaik-baiknya supaya tidak ada lagi situasi yang boleh diibaratkan sebagai 'rumah siap, pahat berbunyi.'
Sementara itu, Setiausaha Agung Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Malaysia (MTUC), Abdul Halim Mansor berkata, tempoh tiga bulan merupakan satu tempoh yang panjang dan relevan bagi menyemak semula skim tersebut.
"Melalui semakan semula skim itu, diharap selepas ini semua penjawat awam berpuas hati dan tidak menyalahkan mana-mana pihak mengenai kelemahan skim tersebut," katanya.
Abdul Halim turut berharap, skim tersebut menggunakan bahasa yang mudah difahami agar semua peringkat penjawat awam dapat memahami segala perkara yang terkandung dalam skim tersebut.
"Ia bagi mengelakkan mereka salah tafsir perkara yang disampaikan di dalam skim tersebut," katanya.

The victim later lodged a police report saying she feared the suspect would cause further trouble to her.

Berikutan itu, satu pasukan petugas yang ditubuhkan bagi mencari penyelesaian mengenai isu berkenaan diberi tempoh selama dua bulan sehingga 16 April depan untuk mengkaji isu-isu tersebut dan seterusnya mengemukakan cadangan kepada kerajaan.
Omar berkata, pihaknya yang turut terlibat dalam pasukan petugas bagi mengkaji semula pelaksanaan skim berkenaan berharap hasil perbincangan dan kajian yang diputuskan kelak dapat memuaskan hati semula penjawat awam di negara ini.
