SHAH ALAM: More than 20,000 civil servants in Selangor will receive two and a half-month salary incentive which will be paid in stages.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the first phase of the Special Financial Assistance (BKK), amounting to one-month salary or a minimum of RM1,000, was disbursed in conjunction with Aidilfitri earlier this year.

"The second payment of one-month salary or a minimum of RM1,000, involving a financial implication of RM40.03 million, will be disbursed on Dec 28.

"The remaining half-month salary payment or a minimum of RM1,000 will be paid on Feb 2024 in preparation for the 2024 school session, which is expected to commence in March," he said when tabling the 2024 Selangor Budget here today.

Amirudin said BKK 2023 is paid to all employees of the Selangor state administration, including federally-funded government service members.
