The year 2012 sees Malaysian are getting ready for another general election. RM billions are being given as gifts, bonus of payment by the government to attract support. The latest was the half month bonus to be paid on Aug 9, just rightly timed for the annual Muslims celebration of Eid or known in Malaysia as Raya Puasa.
The half month bonus means that the staff will get half of their pay or rm500, whichever is the higher. A special gift is also given to pensioners amounting to rm500 each. The bonus is expected to cost the government an extra expenses of RM2.2 billion, adding the extra to our already heavy debts.
The payments will be made to about 1.27mil civil servants and 657,000 pensioners.
