IPOH: State civil servants in Perak receive windfall as the State Government agrees to provide Special Financial Aid for 2024 amounting to RM1,000.
The matter was announced by the Menteri Besar Perak, Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad during a breaking of fast ceremony with state civil servants at Laman Seri Ridzuan here.
This assistance is also extended to state-appointed teachers and daily wage workers.
For the first time, this special assistance is also extended to all 995 village heads across the state.
This special assistance involves a financial implication of RM8.8 million, benefiting a total of 8,804 recipients.
Full payment of the special assistance will be made at the end of this month.
This assistance is a gesture of appreciation and recognition to all state civil servants who are the backbone of the government.
It is in recognition of the commitment and dedication devoted to fulfilling the responsibility of serving the people.
To some extent, it can help in making preparations for the upcoming Aidilfitri celebration.
