PUTRAJAYA, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- The Budget 2014 to be tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on Oct 25 will be geared towards economic growth.
"It will be a pro-growth budget, so as citizens, civil servants will also benefit from it," Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa said today.
Queried as to whether there would be any announcement on salary, benefits and allowances for civil servants in the budget, he responded that the government had taken care of those matters through two pay rises this year, as well as capping automatic increments at minimum three percent for those who have reached maximum salary.
Apart from that the Public Service Department was also reviewing the 86 allowances under various civil service schemes as announced at the 13th Civil Service Dialogue in March, he added.
"The results of the review will be announced in December as scheduled," he said at a press conference after opening Innovation Day 2013 at the Prime Minister's Department here.
In his speech earlier, Ali said the Innovation Day was aimed at strengthening the culture of innovation in the government's service delivery system.
