Commission expects surge in civil service job applications

The Public Services Commission anticipates a surge in applications from the youth following the announcement of civil servant salary adjustments, set to begin in December.

Its chairperson Ahmad Jailani Muhamed Yunus said the salary increase could boost enthusiasm among young people, particularly Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia school leavers and graduates, due to the perceived job security in the public sector.

“We anticipate a significant increase in applications, with data expected in the first quarter of next year.

“We are prepared to handle this influx and will enhance our online application facilities,” he said during the SPA @ Perak 2024 Open Day Programme.

Jailani also advised applicants to exercise caution when applying to avoid falling victim to fraud.

“We urge all applicants to seek accurate and authentic information to avoid falling victim to job scams,” he added.

At his address to civil servants yesterday, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced a 15 percent salary adjustment for civil servants in the support, management and professional groups, and seven percent to those in top management.
