00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:03 Yesterday, Vice Premier Amjad Shaheed said during an interview with the New Haixia Times that the government plans to introduce a new employment policy for civil servants.
00:11 Under the new policy, the existing civil service pension system is expected to be abolished.
00:17 In the future, new civil servants will not receive government-guaranteed pension,
00:22 but will be replaced by a system that employs civil servants to pay public funds and social insurance every month to prepare for their retirement.
00:30 Shaheed described that this is a way to gradually eliminate the traditional civil service pension system.
00:35 If the reform is not carried out soon, it is expected that by 2040,
00:39 the government will have to bear a civil service pension of up to 120 billion yuan, which will become a long-term burden for the government.
00:47 But he assured that the system of paying public funds to replace the original pension will not affect the retirement benefits of existing civil servants.
00:55 But he foretold that before the new policy is introduced, the government can only temporarily use the contract system to hire new civil servants.
01:03 The matter came to today, the Public Service Bureau announced that the policy of hiring federal government civil servants in the nature of the contract will start on February 1 and will be implemented in stages.
01:14 But the authorities emphasized that this is only a temporary solution and will not involve military and police appointments.
01:21 The Public Service Bureau said that from February on, the longest period for new civil servants to be hired is three years,
01:26 or until they are transferred to formal civil servants according to their performance.
01:31 Just for the unified government to reform the civil service pension system,
01:35 the Chairman of the Public and Civil Service Workers' Assembly, Anand Moh, issued a statement today,
01:39 saying that the government should first cancel the pension system issued by the YB for the People's Welfare Center before cutting the civil servants' pension.
01:49 He said that compared to civil servants, they may serve in the government for more than 30 years.
01:54 Some YBs are only served for a short five years after being elected.
01:58 But these state members and senior officials are not only eligible to receive government pension,
02:03 but also can enjoy high-paying subsidies, allotments, and even many privileges.
02:07 In fact, in addition to the public service bureau feeling dissatisfied with the government's plan to abolish the civil servant pension,
02:13 there are also people in the government's camp who spoke up for civil servants.
02:19 Regarding the government's plan to cut the civil servant pension,
02:22 Malacca State Executive Member and Chief of the Civil Service Corps, Akma, said in an interview today
02:26 that the Civil Service Corps does not misunderstand the financial situation of the government,
02:29 but if it wants to cut the civil servant pension, it must cut the YB pension at the same time.
02:34 That's fair.
02:36 He called on the leaders of the government to support the abolition of the civil servant pension system,
02:39 but it must start with the abolition of the lifelong pension for civil servants.
02:43 We understand that we will face a $120 billion deficit.
02:49 But we ask that it must be started with the YB pension.
02:52 I appeal to all leaders of the government or opposition.
02:56 We agree, but it must be started with the YB pension.
02:59 In addition, the propaganda director of the YB, the local party,
03:02 also issued a statement expressing concerns.
03:04 He said that if the government cancels the civil servant pension,
03:07 the Ministry of Health has 250,000 civil servants who may be transferred to the private sector in the future.
03:11 Of the 500,000 civil servants in the Ministry of Education,
03:13 fewer and fewer people may want to be teachers.
03:15 He believes that without the guarantee of a pension,
03:18 the country will face serious problems with the shortage of civil servants in the next 10 years.
