Civil servants under the Barisan Nasional Government are really precarious employees - any time you can be abandoned by this government - losing all benefits and privileges and suddenly ending up as a private sector employee - not only that you may also lose your regular employment until retirement and end up as a short-term contract employee - worse still you may become a 'contractor for labour employee' where you may be working for a company as all other workers - but you are not an employee. You lose employment security - and a lot of other rights....
Why? Well this BN government is interested in PRIVATISING every thing - and also 'outsourcing work' to outside contractors...
Remember 'former' civil servants in the Postal Services, Telecommunication, KTM,.... Now there is movement in this BN government to even privatize healthcare ... soon it may also be education, etc...
Jabatan Kerja Raya.... Jabatan Bekalan Air - what is happening? Well, nowadays they just 'outsource' work to private contractors, work that used to be done by civil servants - hence no more need for many civil servants because work you used to do is now done by outside private contractors...
Before, it would have been Jabatan Bekalan Air workers who come repair broken pipes - today, in Temerloh first to come is the contractor who digs up the road, repairs the pipe BUT does not cover the hole or resurface/repair the road - guess what that is the work for a different contractor...previously it would have been a Jabatan Bekalan Employee/s (civil servants) who would have come and did all the work properly
TM - well nowadays, the one that comes to do repairs is some private contractor - and he is specific, either he repairs connection in the house, or outside cables - Wonder whether the increase in cable theft incidence has anything to do with 'increasing' work and profits of these private contractors? Again, TM employees lose employment opportunities...
Well, apparently it is also happening in the civil service - the outsourcing of work to outside private contractors. That means the lose of employment opportunities for civil servants...
Police personnel, there has been call for an increase of pay for persons in the police force and security services, given also the fact that there is a real 'life-threathening' environment - but alas this government kept their wages so low that many Malaysians do not even want to apply to join such services - now, finally when BN may lose in the bext General Elections, increments happen - but can you forget the last 50 plus years and just because a desparate government is now handing out increments, bonuses, goodies, etc....you still vote in the same BN government again.
Civil Servants employment is not at risk if there is a change of government - the law prevents 'wrongful dismissal' of workers - Your job is secure - so why worry who wins the next elections.
Only consideration is whether it is time to give some other than this BN to govern - after all a new broom sweeps clean compared to 50 year plus government. Think about the future of Malaysians, and that includes your children..
