Group of prominent retired civil servants says the higher revenue will help Putrajaya devise a better pension scheme, among other things.
The government can use the revenue from the goods and services tax to give cash aid for the poor to offset any price increase, G25 said.
The group that is popularly known as G25 said a stronger revenue base will help the government to devise a better pensioner’s scheme for the civil service, among other things.“The government can use a portion of it to compensate the poor for the additional costs to their daily expenditures. The cash transfers will help the poor cope with the GST,” it said in a statement.
Describing the amendment to Section 3 of the Act as unconstitutional, the apex court said the provision had put former civil servants in a “less favourable situation” with regard to their entitlement to increments in their pension. Under the scheme which was in force before the amendment, the pension of government retirees was to be revised based on the prevailing salary of incumbent civil servants in the same grade.
