KUCHING: Civil servants in Sarawak will receive a "special incentive payment" of one month's salary or a minimum of RM2,000 from the state government next month. Abang Johari said the payment would involve an estimated sum of RM45mil for 22,549 people in the state civil service, including local authorities and statutory bodies. "I trust that this special incentive payment will further motivate our civil service to continue with their excellent service delivery," he added. However, Abang Johari said this did not mean Sarawak was not friendly to the petroleum business in the state. We have even set up Petroleum Sarawak Berhad or Petros to develop the petroleum industry in Sarawak.
