PETALING JAYA: The government’s proposal to abolish the pension scheme for new civil servants should be discussed at the upcoming Bumiputera economic congress, says former minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

Kota Kinabalu: Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) Faculty of Business, Economics and Accountancy lecturer Dr Izaan Azyan Abdul Jamil said the pension move is well-timed, taking advantage of the current government’s stability with two-thirds majority in parliament. .

IPOH: The government has dismissed allegations that a proposal to abolish the pension scheme for new intakes of civil servants would victimise Malays, who form the majority in government service.
