公务员加薪后需提高效率 否则100亿令吉等于白花？
八点最热报 | 首相安华昨天给公务员送大礼，宣布将从今年12月起，为他们调薪超过13%，更形容这是大马史上最高和最好的公务员加薪幅度。如今经济不景气，通胀率高居不下，而政府选在这个时候，拨出100亿令吉调涨公务员薪资，又会对国家经济带来怎样的效应呢？会不会最后由纳税人买单？而谁又能保证，得到加薪的公务员，一定会提高他们效率？（主播：萧慧敏）

00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:04 Yesterday, Anhua sent a big gift to civil servants.
00:08 It announced that it will raise their salary from December this year to more than 13%.
00:12 It also described that this is the highest and best salary increase in the history of Dama.
00:17 Now the economy is not in a good shape and inflation is not catching up.
00:20 What effect will the government's choice to raise the salary of civil servants to 100 billion at this time have on the national economy?
00:28 Will the taxpayers pay the bill in the end?
00:30 And who can guarantee that the civil servants who get a raise will definitely improve their efficiency?
00:35 Wuling Tai, senior lecturer at the University of Malaysia, said during an interview with the 8 o'clock hotline
00:40 that the salary increase of civil servants is not a selective measure, but a necessary measure.
00:46 He said that whoever is the prime minister today must do it.
00:50 He said that this is because the last civil servant raise was 12 years ago.
00:55 In other words, in these 12 years, the salary benefits of civil servants have not changed much.
01:01 In addition, the inflation rate is getting higher and higher.
01:03 If the salary is not raised, it may be difficult for some civil servants.
01:07 Will 13% be too high?
01:10 Wuling Tai said that if the increase of 13% is divided by 12 years,
01:15 it will only be 1% in a year.
01:20 And for Anhua, it is expected that the inflation rate will also be gradually increased after the civil servant raise.
01:27 Wuling Tai explained that when the civil servant raise is increased, the flow of capital in the market will increase.
01:32 The purchasing power of the people will also rise, which will lead to a higher demand and a lack of supply.
01:37 Therefore, inflation is certainly inevitable.
01:40 But how much inflation rate will rise in the end depends on whether the government has taken the right measures to alleviate the pressure of inflation.
01:48 Although the inflation rate will increase, Wuling Tai said that China has a population of 34 million,
01:53 and the civil servant only accounted for 1.6 million, which accounts for 4.7% of the total population.
01:58 If the increase of 4.7% will affect the livelihood of 34 million people, it is still not convincing.
02:06 Unless the private sector and the public sector are all increased, there may be a wave of inflation.
02:12 On the question of whether the increase in the number of civil servants may lead to inflation,
02:15 the tax consultant Kong Linglong pointed out that if the government adjusts the salary in stages,
02:20 there will not be too much money flowing into the market at the same time, and it will not seriously affect the growth rate.
02:25 He also pointed out that the increase in the number of civil servants will not have a greater impact than the four-time lifting plan of the Public Fund Bureau.
02:33 But Kong Linglong emphasized that the most important premise of the increase in the number of civil servants is to improve efficiency.
02:38 He pointed out that the proportion of civil servants in China is relatively high in the world.
02:41 One in every 21 people is a civil servant.
02:45 He believes that if the government spends 100 billion yuan, but the skill of the civil servant has not risen,
02:50 the increase will not be equivalent, and the money will be wasted.
02:54 If the increase in the number of civil servants improves efficiency, it can also make foreign investors feel that the economic environment in China is good,
03:00 and they can be confident to invest and form a positive cycle, and the economy will be better.
03:07 Yesterday, Anhua announced that they will increase their salary by more than 13% from December,
03:12 while the Labor Day was sending candy to civil servants.
03:15 The tax consultant Kong Linglong pointed out that although this measure will bring positive effects,
03:19 the premise is that the civil servant must improve efficiency after the increase in salary,
03:23 otherwise the cost of this 110-yuan salary will be equivalent to a waste.
03:27 Kong Linglong said that if the civil servant improves productivity after the increase in salary,
03:31 he believes that it will help improve the economic and commercial environment in Denmark,
03:37 and attract more foreign investors to invest to promote national economic development.
03:39 On the contrary, if the increase in salary is only to solve the pressure of the current inflation,
03:43 and to buy some non-essential goods, and there is no civil servant to increase efficiency,
03:47 it will only form a negative cycle, and the national economy will be worse.
03:51 If we demand an increase in the inflation,
03:54 we add salary, we buy some non-essential goods,
03:58 this will definitely be a negative cycle.
04:01 If our increase in salary is based on a basis,
04:06 that is, your efficiency increases,
04:09 this will definitely not be a negative cycle,
04:12 it will lead to the development of our enterprise,
04:14 and then there is an economic effect,
04:17 so it is not a negative cycle.
04:19 In the end, I think the entire Malaysian civil servant must be based on this skill to be able to support,
04:26 otherwise, our increase in salary, this RMB 100 million expenditure,
04:30 it will be wasted.
04:32 When every company wants to increase salary,
04:34 they should think about how to turn this way of increasing salary into a kind of driving force,
04:40 to increase the production capacity and production volume.
04:43 Then you believe that if you increase your salary by 10%,
04:45 your production capacity will increase by 10%,
04:47 it will integrate the increase in price,
04:50 which is equivalent to saying that you are more economical, right?
04:52 The government has said that the national treasury is not enough money,
04:56 is the government able to pay?
04:58 Kong Linglong said that as long as the government knows how to open source and save,
05:02 increase tax revenue, reduce subsidies,
05:04 the additional spending of RMB 100 million is basically no problem.
05:07 In addition to open source and save,
05:09 Crown Prince Wulin said that introducing foreign investment is one of the government's top priorities.
05:14 The government may have a lot of things to do now,
05:17 it can try to develop domestic investment,
05:20 which is to attract foreign investors.
05:23 Whenever they attract foreign investors,
05:25 our tax revenue can be improved.
05:27 So the main thing is that the expenditure will now increase by RMB 100 million.
05:31 The question we must understand is how we increase our income,
05:36 that is, the tax revenue must increase.
05:39 In terms of finance,
05:42 where does our Malaysian money come from?
05:44 The company tax is about 34%,
05:48 more than one-third of the company tax.
05:50 If you add personal tax and these so-called SSTs,
05:55 80% of the Malaysian national treasury money comes from here.
06:00 Of course, if the government increases taxes and reduces the so-called chip,
06:06 it is capable of spending an additional RMB 100 million.
06:16 Crown Prince Wulin believes that the government spending RMB 100 million to make civil servants pay attention
06:20 is not only to reduce the gap between the public and private sectors,
06:24 but also to keep talent.
06:26 Because if the government does not pay attention,
06:28 those who are capable naturally will not want to invest in the public sector
06:32 and will not become civil servants.
06:33 In this way, the efficiency of civil servants will decline and affect the quality of public services.
06:38 I believe that the government is not trying to sell cash,
06:42 but to reduce the gap between the public and private sectors.
06:46 This must be achieved,
06:48 otherwise we will not be able to retain talent.
06:51 We must retain talent and attract a new group of government personnel.
06:56 If our civil servants' salaries are not increased and there is no pension,
06:59 what is the point of us?
07:01 If we have all the money, but we can't give you anything,
07:04 how can we attract a new group of government personnel to join our industry?
07:09 If civil servants have this efficiency, we have to value it.
07:13 Why?
07:14 If there is this efficiency, they will be able to use a lot of things and will not be in a hurry.
07:19 In this way, foreign investors will think that the Malaysian business environment is quite good.
07:25 Domestic direct investment will retain Malaysia.
07:31 Many things in Malaysia are very efficient.
07:34 I think it will have such a result.
07:38 Just now we mentioned that tax consultant Kong Linglong thought that
07:46 the government is indeed capable of paying the additional expenses of RMB 100 billion brought by civil servants after the increase in salary.
07:52 But she reminded that since 1998, the Malaysian financial system has been in deficit for 26 consecutive years.
07:58 Therefore, the government must plan how to open source and cut flow,
08:01 so that the additional salary of 13% of civil servants will not bring too much pressure to the national treasury.
08:06 As for the problem of inflation caused by the salary adjustment of civil servants,
08:09 Wulintai, senior lecturer at the University of Malaysia's Economics and Science, said that
08:12 even if civil servants do not increase their salary, the inflation rate will still rise.
08:16 Because the problem is not in the salary adjustment,
08:19 but in the fact that the productivity of our country has not improved and is affected by the external environment.
08:24 Therefore, the government needs to improve domestic productivity, reduce dependence on the external environment,
08:29 and reduce the economic pressure brought by inflation.
