“The special assistance involved an allocation of RM5,631,400 and will benefit 7,892 civil servants in Perak.
“This special aid is to show appreciate for the service and sacrifice of civil servants who have undertaken public service responsibilities,” told a press conference after attending the Program Mesra Hari Bertemu Pelanggan at Stadium Indera Mulia here.
Saarani said the special assistance will also be given to non-trained backup teachers (GSTT), i’dadi teachers, thanawi teachers, Islamic kindergarten teachers, Orang Besar Jajahan and part-time officers.
