KUALA LUMPUR: Hopes of getting a year-end bonus for civil servants were dashed as the Prime Minister is of the view that it is morally wrong for Cuepacs to make such a request when the Government is making efforts to ride out of the global economic crisis.
Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak said that while it was a popular move for Cuepacs president to continue to pressure the Government for a two-month bonus for the 1.2 million civil servants, it was not the right time to make such a demand.
“It is morally wrong for Cuepacs to ask for bonus during these difficult times,” he said at a business luncheon forum at the Bankers’ Club here yesterday.
In a meeting last week, the congress members endorsed a two-month bonus demand and wanted its leaders to meet with the Prime Minister soon.
There was no mention of bonus for civil servants in Budget 2010. Last year, the Government gave a one-month bonus with a minimum of RM1,000.
Najib said the Government had decided to introduce a reward system for civil servants instead to motivate those who performed well.
Najib pointed out that Malaysia must review its subsidies that artificially distort the marketplace.
He said the nation spent over RM20bil maintaining price controls over a wide range of products including bread and sugar.

Datuk Seri Najib Razak semalam membidas Cuepacs yang berterusan menuntut bonus dua bulan gaji bagi 1.6 juta kakitangan dan pesara perkhidmatan awam ketika keadaan ekonomi negara belum pulih sepenuhnya.
Sambil menyifatkan tindakan itu salah dari segi moral, Perdana Menteri berkata sekarang bukan masa yang sesuai untuk membuat tuntutan sedemikian.
“Tindakan Cuepacs diketuai Presidennya, Omar Osman mungkin tindakan popular di kalangan ahli tetapi ia tidak wajar dilakukan dalam keadaan kegawatan ekonomi global yang tempiasnya turut dirasai Malaysia.
“Dari segi moralnya adalah salah untuk meminta bonus ketika ekonomi negara belum pulih sepenuhnya,” katanya berucap pada majlis makan tengah hari sempena Forum Perniagaan Bankers Club di sini, semalam.
Cuepacs mengemukakan tuntutan bonus dua bulan gaji apabila Perdana Menteri ketika membentangkan Bajet 2010 pada 23 November lalu tidak menyentuh mengenainya.
Sebaliknya, CUEPACS juga boleh berkata:
"IT'S MORALLY WRONG FOR PM NOT TO GIVE BONUS TO CIVIL SERVANTS WHO ARE CONTINUALLY SUFFERING TO SURVIVE DURING SUCH A DIFFICULT TIME, LIKE NOW!"
isu bonus isu lapuk. bukan penting sgt pun.. bila bagi betul2 nanti, senyaplah semua geng yg gila bonus. yg gila tu kakitangan tetap. pegawai kontrak bila lagi nk diserapkan??? kerja bertimbun!!!
Najib Wajar meminta maaf kepada semua Penjawat Awam,
Beliau telah menghina Penjawat Awam.
Kata-kata kerasnya telah menguris hati Penjawat Awam.
gesa najib mohon maaf secara terbuka pada penjawat awam....
cuepacs minta lagi buat apa nak akur.... kalo F1 boleh buat tak kan bonus tak leh nak bagi...kata ekonomi meleset...tapi wat apa nak masuk F1... sedangkan toyota, honda, bmw tarik diri... apa ke jadahnya masuk F1 tu... tak memberi kesenangan pada rakyat pun... ni kata kan kroni didahulukan P.A dan rakyat disisihkan....
`kroni didahulukan, rakyat disishkan...hidup najib
CUEPACS mana perjuangan anda untuk menyerapkan kakitangan KONTRAK?? Nampaknya betul laa apa yang banyak orang kata
