PETALING JAYA: The public must be realistic in its expectations for the upcoming Budget 2024, as there is only so much that the government can do, economists say.
The RM10 Fund – let’s do it Pix for representational purpose only.
I
MUST thank those who came out in support of the idea I wrote about in my recent column, for a RM10 monthly contribution for at least three months from the 1.6 million civil servants, to bring relief to Malaysians whose livelihoods have been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Most notably, the backing from former director-general of Public Service Department Tan Sri Ismail Adam, who described the proposal as “easily implementable”.
He texted me that the RM10 can be deducted from the non-pensionable allowance every civil servant receives in one form or another.
