| Cuepacs asks for service extension of contract staff Posted: 18 Oct 2011 06:41 AM PDT KUANTAN (Bernama): Cuepacs has asked that the government consider extending the service of contract for civil servants ending this Dec 31. Its president Datuk Omar Osman said they received complaints from contract civil servants in departments, agencies and statutory bodies who were given letters not extending their service. "Cuepacs will send an official letter to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for his help in extending their contracts for at least two more years," he told reporters after a briefing on current events at Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) here. He said this extension period will allow these civil servants, a majority in the management and professional group, to apply for a permanent post or seek other jobs. He said they hoped that contract civil servants could be absorbed into vacant posts which currently exist in the public service. Meanwhile, he reminded graduates not to worry about the increased retirement age from 58 to 60 because it will not affect their employment opportunities in the public sector.

| Guan Eng denies blog allegations against son Posted: 18 Oct 2011 04:33 AM PDT PETALING JAYA: Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has refuted allegations that his son was transferred out from his school due to an offence. He said he and his wife were furious that political bloggers and opponents had made false allegations against his son. "My (Form Four) son had transferred to St Xavier's Institution in Penang from SMK (Cina) Heng Ee because I had promised him he could transfer to the school of his choice if he scored at least 6As in his PMR. "When he achieved that, he was transferred at the beginning of the school term this year, in January 2011. My son wanted to go to SXI because he did not want to have his hair crew-cut as is required for Heng Ee students, but wanted to keep his hair longer." Lim said for a young kid to be maligned in such a manner was unacceptable and inhumane. "My son is very shaken up by these lies. He has also not gone back to school for two days. I feel sad that I am not able to protect my young son," Lim said in a statement Tuesday, blaming pro-Umno bloggers for the allegations. "If you want to finish me off, do your worst to me but leave my innocent children alone," he said. Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
