00:00 QPEX has a duty to ask for what is best for civil servants.
00:07 This is what an economist had to say after netizens accused QPEX of being insensitive
00:13 for asking for a special Hari Raya Idol Featuring Bonus next month.
00:18 Their annoyance was largely due to the request being made a month after civil servants were
00:22 given an incentive payment of RM2,000 each.
00:27 However, University Science Malaysia's Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid said civil servants are
00:32 part and parcel of the population and raising their liquidity level will increase spending
00:37 in other sectors of the economy at the same time.
00:41 Fauzi also said it is "mind-boggling" that the public expects efficient service at government
00:47 departments but are unwilling to reward civil servants on an annual basis.
00:53 The political analyst Awang Asmampaui said whether it's fair depends on various factors
00:58 including the economic situation and budget constraints.
01:02 He said it is also important to balance the interests of civil servants and taxpayers
01:07 to weigh the impact on both groups to ensure responsible financial management.
