PUTRAJAYA: Civil servants will get a double increment this year, with Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announcing that the 1.6 million government employees will get another increment on July 1 beyond their annual salary increments. "This was in recognition of your loyalty, support and dedication towards the Government," the Prime Minister told the Civil Service Premier Assembly (Mappa) on Wednesday (April 4). "This (additional increment) is the Government's recognition of your service," he added. The Mappa gathering, attended by more than 10,000 people, is seen as the last session between the Prime Minister and civil servants before the general election is called. At the Mappa function, the Prime Minister also announced a string of goodies for civil servants, including a new grade, DG56, for teachers effective Jan 1, 2019.
