SHAH ALAM - Cuepacs says it agrees with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's response on not increasing pay of civil servants this year as the country's debts skyrockets to RM1.5 trillion with a widening deficit budget.

Its president, Datuk Adnan Mat said civil servants will continue to support the government's leadership and prioritise the interests of the people and the country.

"Civil servants will continue to provide undivided service in supporting and implementing government policies, especially the core pillars to benefit the people and the country," he told Sinar.

Cuepacs previously expressed disappointment over the 2023 Budget which it claimed did not solve the cost of living pressure faced by civil servants.

However, Anwar on Monday asked civil servants to be patient and give the government a chance to strengthen the country's economy first as the country faces a debt of RM1.5 trillion and a deficit of 5.6 percent.

Adnan further said Cuepacs has confidence in the prime minister's planning to safeguard the welfare of civil servants in this country.

"Cuepacs is confident that the Prime Minister has his own way of looking after the welfare of civil servants who are always close to his heart," he said.
