Raising Paid of Government Officer

The Government have release a report on trend of salary, which suggested a 0.6% to 1.6% of salary rising on Government officer. The representative of Government senior officer comment it is laughable pay rise. And he claimed inflation pressure which is high influences their quality life.

Government pay is well-known having premium to market salary. After financial tsunami, most industries salary have not yet been backed to 2007 level. It is very difficult to accept the government have just reduced their salary pay right after January this year and get pay rising in April again. The public have suffered unemployment, salary cut, no-paid leave since October 2008 and lasted over a year of time. As a example, so far, my salary paid have not yet been reached back to 2007 level. It is difficult to understand how laughable that Government officer get a pay rising after 3 months of salary cut. I will not against on Government officer get a pay rise however it is too mean to comment that as a laughable pay rise.
