KANGAR, Oct 3 (Bernama) -- The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) today called on the government to change the "administrative assistant" title to "administrative service officer", which would result in an upgrading of 65,000 civil servants in the post nationwide.
CUEPACS president Datuk Omar Osman said those who held the post were the main workforce who delivered public service across the board within the federal and state governments, statutory bodies and local authorities and as such should not be called 'assistants'.
Speaking to reporters after opening the 11th biannual Peninsular Malaysia National Health Administrative Assistants Union's Representative Conference here Thursday, he said the proposal had been submitted to the Public Services Department.
"We hope the matter can be addressed by the Prime Minister, who is also the Finance Minister tables the national budget on Oct 25," he said.
Omar said Cuepacs had also proposed to the government to approve civil servants housing loans based on house prices instead of their salary and reduce interest from the current four percent to one.
