The Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib bin Tun Razak said that the salary of 1.2 million ciivl servants can be adjusted upwards when the GST is implemented.
He said that the implementation of GST will strengthen the government's revenue base, which could be used to work out better deals for the people.
The Prime Minister was quoted as saying; ***
"That is why GST is important. People want higher wages but not willing to support GST. I need the support of the 1.2 million government employees. If you want to be paid better in the future, I have to strengthen the government's revenue base because otherwise, where do I get the money to pay government servants?
*** According to an interview with Prime Minister with Bernama TV on his first year as Malaysian Prime Minister on April 4, 2010
