Latest hot topic these days is about the new salary scheme for all civil servants. I never read nor watch news but I have ears... I listen to these open discussions in the office and in public. While those involved are happy, at the same time, a lot of grouches could be heard....
Just now I googled about it and indeed it is true, from January 1st onwards, civil servants will be getting a pay rise between 7 to 13% increment in their salary. The circular is out, you can download the SBPA circular here.
Putting that aside... what do you think will happen next year.. While the civil servants are expecting their increment to be implemented in January, we must also prepare our hearts from being "shocked-ed" by the increase in our monthly expenses.
It is expected.... when there is increment in salary, there is also an increase in everything, especially FOOD!
So... Be prepared, be frugal, be cautious in spending unnecessarily.........*reminding myself*

Yalor! Don't see why they keep increasing the salaries...not that people are going to vote for them!
ReplyDeleteAnd pensioners get 2% only... The prices of things? 10% or more? Tsk! Tsk!
Yes, prices of things have really shot up. It is almost a weekly affair that we hear of housewives complaining of the increasing prices of meat especially pork. The floods aren't helping the situation on the prices of veggies. And who has ever heard of the opportunistic food hawkers reducing their prices every time a situation stabilizes. So agreed with you that we need to be frugal, but then again the youths of today spend like there's no tomorrow!

Business people will take this golden opportunity to increase the prices of things.Take this as an excuse.
ReplyDeletestp: i cannot imagine a bowl of noodles will cost how much.. not already it is almost 5rm .. so one meal next year might cost 10rm??
ReplyDeletegratitude: once they start working, they will know the value of money. .:)
irene: yes, they surely will... just wait and see..
means now can spend la? LOL
ReplyDeleteAre we civil servants putting the others in trouble, undirectly?
ReplyDeleteit's still a good news to all civil servants..whether there will be an increase of others goods..hehe..will see, will see..
ReplyDeleteWell, everything also increase.. salary also need increase... haha :P
ReplyDeletekathy: no difference to u lar! hahaa..
ReplyDeletepam: govt fault, not the ones receiving.. hahaha..
lena: i think even with no increment, the things also will rise hor?
hayley: ask for more bonus!
Pam is right! We retirees, low income workers and those with no pay increase, will suffer. Prices, once increased, will never come down. Sigh! Si Liou.....
ReplyDeletewell, salary increase or not, i think things are still getting more and more expensive!! our salary can never cope with the inflation~~ :(
ReplyDeleteBananaz being eating two meals per day on buffet economy rice only (brunch & dinner) for the past donkey years and now gotta take only one meal per day or reduce the dishes to two. Later on reduce to one dish and much much later on eat rice with curry gravy will do..~;). Can only lau nua and enjoy the lovely yummy dishes virtually when blog hopping in future think better stop visiting foodie blogs else my keyboard all wet with saliva haha.
ReplyDelete7-13% raise??? That is a HUGE raise! Wish hubby could have that kind of raise. I hope the cost of living doesn't go up too high, but you never know...
ReplyDeletebean: no need to si.. go diet a bit la.. your tummy.. er.. can reduce a bit, kan?? :)
ReplyDeletesk: sooner or later, inflation?
bananaz: so cham as that?? virtual food is very torturing one, u noe?? come to IPOH.. one or two meals more few dishes shouldnt be a problem! hahaha..
gigi: yes, now we are only fore-seeing... hopefully no increase..
Oi....belanja !
ReplyDeleteYeah!!! A raise at Christmas!!! If it is true that prices are going up, at least your bosses will help with this raise! We call this kind of raise a "cost of living"raise.
ReplyDeleteI think it's other way round. The increase is to capture ur vote in the coming elections.
ReplyDeleteThe Exit Policy is an interesting feature added to the scheme. If LNPT mark is less than 70% and no more room for career advancement, one will be forced to retire. I believe it is part of the process of reducing the kumpulan sokongan (will be re-branded as kumpulan operasi next year)
ReplyDeletechris: yes..u belanja.. i will be there!!
ReplyDeleteginny: next year.. not christmas.. :)
rachel: a lot of money spent, right?
BF: we know in a week or two..
I am regret I am not a civil servant.
ReplyDeleteOh yea.. inflation rate is getting higher!! Must be thrifty!!
ReplyDeletehaih.. everything goes up up up except our salaries... sigh...
ReplyDeletesorry, not to offend civil servants there with my previous comments.. but i just hope we in the private sector can get better benefits too... sigh..
ReplyDeletesheohyan: not actually a garden of roses either..
ReplyDeletesweetwitch: but still need to eat nice food.. otherwise life less meaning.. hahaha..
merryn: yeah, private sectors can ask for more pay too... otherwise susah..
