Why give cash to civil servants when they are not going to lost their job. Why brother to help M40 when the once at risk is SME going to bankrupt and lay off employees as they do not have income and need to pay the fixed cost.

Do you know large number of civil servants job is just shifting paper! And they are given pension for life! You have tons in private firms doing tons of job,paid the same salary but will be jobless in few years time because this firms will replace them with young and cheaper workforce!
SsLee is right! Come recession, depression or like current pandemic, civil servants can shake their legs! Full salary at end of the month, pension once retired! And their contribution is peanut! What a waste! I strongly propose that civil service abolish pension and replace with contractual basis!

It was Najib who bloated our civil service with useless extra 1 million! No thoughts that future generations will be overburden with pension welfare for this bloated 4 to 5 million retirees! In the end, Malaysia will spend 60% of it's annual budget feeding useless civil servants!
Be firm! You don't give pension to non performers! You are cultivating lazy culture! Only get pension to deserving and talents teachers, core medical staff, and so forth! Be very selective! Pension for those who are useable in time of crisis! Example, during current pandemic, you can recall those retiree doctors and nurses and pay extra on top of their pension! It's worth it! Tell me, what do retired clerical civil servants do! When half of they working life spend playing around!

don't expect too much from azmin. i'm agreed a few of you. Extra gift for civil workers should give or priority for those selective parts in middle of crisis like present only. The gift should not give to other civil types. Front-liner civil like rela, police, army, healthcare; medical staffs, nurses & doctors, should be priority right now. In private and government hospital right now, even though normal staff also contribute to do scanning and monitoring the public movement that come for medical checkup.
