‘It’s a surprise’: Govt chief secretary says Anwar’s secret announcement will bring joy to Malaysians, civil servants

KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 — Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar today said that the upcoming announcement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to bring joy to Malaysians, including civil servants.

According to a report in Harian Metro, Shamsul declined to elaborate further, saying the initiative was a “surprise” and fully under wraps.


“If it’s for the public, they’ll be happy. If it’s for civil servants, they’ll be happy too, Allah willing,” he was quoted as saying.

Yesterday, Anwar hinted on Facebook that a special “appreciation” for the people would be announced soon.

The post included the slogan “Bersama Malaysiaku” (with my Malaysia).

Give out money? Reduce income tax? Extra holiday?

Merdeka! Malaysia!

Still planning.

Apa surprise kita nak bagi ye?
Ala biasa je... 300 kakitanga awam, 100 pencen
Orait Roger.

Full pardon of bossku so he can come back as Finance Minister

Intriguing, what kind of "special" appreciation that will actually include M40 and T20 instead of the typical B40 only appreciation. Civil servant part easy to visualize lah.

Anyone here wanna venture a guess?

semua olang increment naik 30%!!


nasi lemak telur mata become rm9.
nasi lemak ayam goreng rm17.
lul

petrol allowance

Special price when purchasing car/house for civil servant?

remove import car tax.

Have a feeling that this will be targeting civil servants probably with one off special bonus

what happens when not happy?

if not happy can complain ke?

Everyday angkak civil servants punya lampa! Lol

Habisla gov servant gaji naik lagi, later will introduce more taxes to compensate. And later will ask fakmi to post why dafaq private sector can't catch up with the inflation rate increase minimum wage

Min wage naik 2.5k for public
Civil servant naik 5% + 2 month guarantee bonus

Now everyone is happy

Bonus for civil servant.

announcement to make announcement

At the end. Follow BN style. Give the money to the poor.

5x5

everything also want to pre-announce

jadi government end up please government servant, opex keep going up but no concrete plan to reduce government servant by digitalization.

How to win next term election, Rafizi proposal of consolidating all government IT service into one also kena reject.

semua kakitangan kerajaan dapat tilam baru satu

0.50 myr = 1 sgd

Don't laugh - this is the price at Owl.

I think he will announce 1 September as cuti umum sempena Hari McDani. Make the weekend stretch longer so everyone can balik kampung

Topkek good news

Malaysia to miss fiscal deficit target this year, says BMI



If still giving goodies away then long-term no hope in fixing fiscal budget deficit as the nation will keep spending more in servicing debts repayment meaning less money for CAPEX for education and healthcare but then again ah, Malaysian where got think long term one, all after instant gratification.

B40

yup, the 1 good news is, there is no bad news to announce today...

The closest we got to no more free ride folks everyone got to work was atuk2. 0

He however was distracted from ruling by denying Anwar, planning sheraton and killing umno while burying Najib and lifting Bersatu

If he actually stick to point 1 and ignore the rest we legit would have been better off

Sounds like another round of increment using T20 and M40 tax money

Epf withdrawal from account 1 for all msian

Minimum salary rm8000

Civil servant that agreed to SSPA will see a 2nd increase in their salary starting Jan 2026.

I guess I'll be forking out more to compensate certain ppl

Fk this

Extra public holidays.

1. Madani Day.
2. Hidup Anwar Day.

The private sector who contribute most of the tax income with no discount when compared to government, always being neglected.

Always wanna be hero, haih

if for civil servant only then announce for what fark... not for all Malaysian also. dllm

Apa lagi madanon mau, sekarang pung dah tiggal underwear saja, itu pun nak jugak ke. Atau nak distribute underwear bagi orang happy. Kalau happy ending kita happy la

For malaysians if he quit will really bring joy, only knows how to give gula2 to civil servants @the expenses of the tax paying citizens!

Civil servants not Malaysians? Why need separate? The only reason is they give you something as a Malaysian but take back something just so they give more to civil servants.

Malaysians lose. If you are civil servants congrats. Keep calm and continue your good work (or not)

announce more support to palestine or finally gonna sponsor 1 way ticket to puak2 boycott?

Plot twist: surprise is BNM reduce OPR to 2.75% which was already announced last week. PMX slowpoke lololol

Hoping for him to announce all Malaysians no longer require to pay income tax
