PEKAN, Sept 23 (Bernama) -- The Pahang government is considering financial aid for federal civil servants serving in the state as a token of appreciation for their contributions.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said the finance division is currently assessing the number of civil servants involved and the financial implications of the proposed aid.
“The state government is still considering the matter and no final decision has been made. We may not be able to extend it to everyone, but those earning RM3,000 or RM4,000 and below could perhaps be given a token sum of RM200 or RM300 each,” he told a press conference after launching the state-level International Day of Forests 2025 at Dataran Pekan Bandar Diraja here today.
He said that although the aid amount may not be substantial, the initiative demonstrates the state government’s commitment to recognising the contributions of civil servants.
“This also depends on the state’s financial position, which has to date recorded revenue collection of more than RM850 million,” he said.
At the event, he witnessed the Pahang Forestry Department receive recognition from the Malaysia Book of Records for planting 20,000 peat swamp forest trees in the Pekan Forest Reserve, the largest planting of its kind in Malaysia.
