The government has agreed to adjust the salary scale of lecturers, professors and civil servants through the second Madani Budget which will be tabled in Parliament this October.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the move would be a temporary measure until a comprehensive study on civil servants' salary and pension schemes is completed next year.
"I see that the salary adjustment of lecturers, professors and civil servants has not been reviewed or increased for 10, 12 years, even though according to the allocation, every 10 years there must be an adjustment (of salary).
"As the prime minister, I have to solve this problem," he said during a question-and-answer session at the Temu Anwar Johor Bahru programme at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in Skudai yesterday.
He said a committee had been created to review the adjustment.
The programme was attended by almost 4,000 students, educators and members of the public.
Also present were Johor Menteri Besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi and UTM vice-chancellor Ahmad Fauzi Ismail.
