检讨大马公共服务新薪金制度（SBPA）

- 欢迎政府调整公务员薪金，这对于公务员，尤其是非主管级公务员有很大的帮助，能让他们减轻经济压力。
- 政府应检讨非主管级公务员的薪金调整，若他们的薪金调整过低，这让他们无法应付百货通胀的生活开销，所以政府应考量各因素，酌量调整他们的薪金。
- 而相对于主管级公务员，他们的薪金已处于高水平，调整薪金时，若政府还大幅度加薪予此组别，这将会扩大主管级与非主管级公务员薪金之间的鸿沟，同时也会影响非主管级公务员的工作士气，导致他们心里不平衡。
- 此外，新进和资深公务员的调薪差别也应检讨，如同是DG54级别的公务员，新进公务员调薪RM1800，而资深公务员同时期调薪仅RM300，这是极至不公平的。
- 政府应检讨公务员分配的问题，避免各部门发生人力过多或过剩的情况发生。政府应妥善分配人力资源，进行策略改变，善用人才，减轻政府的资源开销。
欢迎政府执行解解雇政策，政府公务员也应对本身所执行任务时的态度及勇于承担责任。
政府在聘请私人界的首席执行官（CEO）当各政府部门的秘书长，管理公务员，这会让公务员士气下降。对于该情况，政府应善加处理，调任有能力的公务员出任该职位，而不是聘请私人界的员工。
只有那些特别专才在政府公务员当中缺乏的，才可聘请私人界的专才成为部门首席执行人员或秘书长。然而，秘书长的薪金也不可超越其部门的部长。
我们不因太过比较私人界和政府公务员的薪酬，两者都不应困为一谈。因为公务员的许多福利和专利是私人界无法提供。政府在制定调整公务员的薪金，最重要的前提是节约和效率。
政府在检讨公务员的薪金调整，证明了其开明的态度和诚恳，也对大多数的公务员的关怀，也真正的贯彻以民为本，效绩为先的一个大马政策。

Review of New Salary Scheme for Civil Servants(SBPA0

Press statement by Dr Cheah Soon Hai,

Chairman of Central Bureau of Environment,Safety & Quality of Life

Kedah Gerakan Chairman and Derga State Assemblyman

19-01-2012

We welcome the decision by the government to revise the remuneration system of the civil service, this initiative will help to relieve the financial burden of the civil servants, especially those categorised in the Implementation Group.[1]

 - The government should review the new remuneration scheme for the civil servants under the Implementation Group, if the adjustment for their salary is too low, it may be hard for them to cope with the inflation that takes a toll on the living cost, therefore the government should take into consideration of various factors, make suitable adjustment to the remuneration system of the civil servants.

 

- However relatively the civil servants in the Premier Group, Top Management Group, and the Management and Professional Group, their salary is already at a high level, while under the new remuneration scheme, if the government still wanted to increase the salary in a big scale for these groups, this will further widen the income gap in between the Implementation Group and the Management Groups, at the same time it will be affecting the working morale of the Implementation Group and leads to psychological imbalance.

 

- Besides, the difference in the new remuneration scheme for the new and senior civil servants also needed to be reviewed, for example the Grade DG54 civil servants, the new recruits will get a pay rise for RM1800 while at the same time the senior officers will only get RM300 pay rise under the new remuneration scheme, and this is extremely unfair.[2]

The present  proposed salary increment defeat the purpose of lesser the burden of lower income group.

 

- The government should review the allocation problem of the civil servants, to avoid the excess of manpower happening in every ministries or departments. The government should allocate the human resources properly, carry out policy change, optimum utilization of talents, and reduce the government spending on resources.

We support the ‘exit policy‘ for the non-performing civil servants. The civil servants need to be accountable for their actions or decisions.

- The idea by the government of having chief executive officers from the private sector appointed as secretaries-general of civil service in every government ministries and departments to manage the civil servants; should not dampen the morale of the civil servants.

In reference to the situation, the government should make the best adjustment accordingly, transfer or appoint the capable civil servant to fill the post instead of appointing personnel from the private sector.

Only those with super specialise skills which are not available in the civil service can be recruited on contract basis for the chief executive officers post. Even then the salary of chief executive officer or secretary-general of ministry should not be higher than that of the minister.

We should not compare too much the salary scheme of the private and public sector. They are many peaks and benefits of which the government servant gets but is not available to the private sector.

Dr.Cheah applauds the government’s move to review the new salary scheme for civil servants (SBPA) after receiving numerous complaints. Cost saving and productivity should be the main thing the government should emphasis on reviewing SBPA.

The willingness of the government to carry out this review indicates sincerity and sensitivity to the plight of the majority of civil servants.

Kedah ruling leaves operators fuming

Kedah ruling leaves operators fuming

ALOR STAR: Some 3,000 entertainment outlet operators here are crying foul over the Pas-led Kedah government's new ruling requiring them to pay the licensing fees for a full year.

 
 

 State Gerakan chairman Dr Cheah Soon Hai, who is also state assemblyman for Derga, said his service centre was deluged with complaints from the operators.

  He said the operators received the notice on Dec 4 last year.

 
 

The notice was signed by state financial officer Datuk Mohd Puat Mohd Ali and stated that the operators had to pay a year's fees on Jan 1 or they would not be allowed to operate.

 
 

  Previously, he said they paid monthly fees to the district offices, which gave them the option of closing the operation if business was slow for a particular month.

 
 

They did not have to pay for the month during which they did not operate.

 
 

 Dr Cheah said those operating snooker outlets were charged RM2,000 per snooker table per month. 

 
 

 "Under the new ruling, an operator with 10 snooker tables will have to fork out RM240,000 before he could operate.

 
 

  "This is a very huge sum since during some months, they often reduced the number of snooker tables or ceased operations."

 
 

  He said the previous practice was practical since some entertainment outlets observed shorter operating hours or remained closed  during certain religious occasions like the fasting month.

 
 

  "The new ruling was sprung on the operators without any warnings or discussions. 

 
 

"This is just like  when they told the operators to stop operating during the fasting month previously."

 
 

    Meanwhile, many operators said they had not settled the fees according to the new ruling.

 
 

 "It is simply outrageous and I have more than 10 snooker tables.

 
 

  "I don't have the money to pay about RM300,000 in one lump sum," said a snooker operator here who declined to be identified.

 
 

 State Local Government Committee chairman Phahrolrazi Zawawi when approached, confirmed the new ruling, but declined to comment.

 
 

  "I don't know the details since it was decided by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak and the state financial officer."

 

Liquor Ban

）民政党吉打州联委会谴责及反对居林县属在今年下半年，不再更新售酒执照及酒吧营业执照指令，并促请以伊斯兰党为首的吉打民联州政府采取行动，指示该县属收回成命。

 
 

联委会主席兼德卡区州议员谢顺海强调，民联州政府不再试探州民，而是直接落实回教化政策。

 
 

他也声明，本身没有反对两线制，但不能盲目支持而典当自己和下一代的将来。

 
 

他说，所有国家法令都是在国会通过，然而在回教神权法令是不可被更改的，因此身为华裔必须寻找出路而非不归路。

 
 

"我们严厉谴责及反对上述不利于民的政策实施，要求州政府插手解决，收回成命。"

 
 

谢顺海今午在民政党吉打州联委会党所，对居林县禁止更新售酒及酒吧营业执照发表看法。

 
 

开先例难违反

 
 

他说，目前华裔人口逐渐减少，全国仅有24%，而吉州仅占是13%，因此一旦实施回教政策，将影响深远。

 
 

"一旦开始了回教政策，接下来无论谁执政，都必须以现有政策为蓝本。毕竟担任议员者以巫裔为主，他们不可违反回教神权法令。"

 
 

他强调，民联一直鼓吹福利州理念，但所实施的政策都背道而驰，因此应谴责及反对，将之纠正。

 
 

出席者有民政党吉打州联委会副主席韦国华、财政罗英祥、人力资源局主任陈巧德、干训局主任廖维强、KNK分部主席陈清凤、吉打民青团团长陈庆亮等。
