KUCHING: The Sarawak Civil Service (SCS) appreciates the announcement of the Bantuan Kewangan Khas (BKK) of two months of basic salary by the Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Abdul Rahman Zohari Tun Datuk Abang Openg, which involves financial implications of RM131 million.

Sarawak Secretary Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar Marzuki said, this is a recognition of the hard work of Sarawak civil servants and this good news will certainly encourage us to continue to serve with full dedication and professionalism.

"On behalf of all the Sarawak Civil Service, I would like to express my highest appreciation and gratitude to the Sarawak Government under the leadership of the Sarawak Premier for the announcement of the Sarawak Budget 2026 during the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUN) Sitting on December 3.

"I also extend my highest appreciation to the Sarawak Premier who is always attentive and provides full support in efforts to strengthen the capabilities and capacity of the Sarawak Civil Service to ensure the delivery of more effective, efficient and innovative services to the people.

"This initiative is clearly outlined in the Ninth Strategic Thrust: Strengthening Government Capability and Public Service Delivery," he said in a post on his official Facebook page on Friday.

Meanwhile, Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar said that this incentive comes with an equally great trust.

Therefore, he called on all civil servants to continue to be dedicated, strengthen a high-performance work culture and work as a team towards a more developed and prosperous Sarawak.

"Let us together ensure that every initiative of the Sarawak Government is translated into a real impact on the people.

"With the shared commitment and spirit of SCS One Team, I am confident that the Sarawak Civil Service will continue to be the main catalyst in moving this state forward as a prosperous, inclusive and resilient region," he said. -UKASnews
