There is good news for Sarawakians!
Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg yesterday followed in the footsteps of Sabah and Selangor by announcing a two-month bonus for state civil servants, to be paid next month, totaling RM190 million.
Federal civil servants in Sarawak will also receive a bonus of RM700, expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2025.
In an effort to provide accurate support to civil servants, the state will introduce a new monthly allowance, ranging from RM400 to RM700 starting in January, in line with the Federal Government's new salary system.
In addition, Abang Johari also announced that all Sarawak students in institutions of higher learning, regardless of family income, will receive pocket money of RM 1,200 to help with their studies.
This plan will support approximately 25,000 students, showing the commitment of the state of Sarawak in ensuring that their young talents can be fully polished with studies without having to think about financial problems.
