Sarawak teachers' union requests RM2000 assistance for federal civil servants
-
The Sarawak Teachers' Union is asking the state government to consider at least RM2,000 in special financial assistance for federal civil servants serving in Sarawak under the State Budget 2027.
The union's request also sets out a one-month salary bonus for state civil servants as an alternative proposal. Neither figure is an approved payment announced by the government. For staff in Kuching and other Sarawak districts, the distinction is between a union's budget request and an entitlement they can already claim.
In its account published on October 10, the union said the request was intended to recognise federal employees' contribution to the state's development. It recalled that state civil servants received a two-month salary bonus last year, while federal civil servants received RM700 in special assistance. Those earlier amounts are background to the request, not confirmation of this year's payment.
The proposal covers federal civil servants serving in Sarawak, not teachers alone. Any payment amount, eligibility and disbursement date would still depend on a state government decision; the request itself provides no application window or payment timetable.
