KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 – The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said on Wednesday said the new minimum starting salary for the civil service at RM1,200 per month takes effect from July 1 next year. She said that from Nov 1 this year, the government had raised the Fixed Housing Allowance (ITP), including for the Implementer Group at a minimum rate of RM300 per month and officers living in quarters also received 25 percent of the ITP rate.
“These upgrades were implemented through Service Circular No.8 of 2015 – Fixed Housing Allowance For Federal Civil Service Officers. The government from time to time conducts a study and revision of salaries of civil servants as a whole, which also includes those in the lower rung (support groups),” she said in a written reply to a question by Datuk Irmohizam Ibrahim (BN-Kuala Selangor) that was circulated in the Dewan Rakyat here on Wednesday.
