KUALA LUMPUR (May 16): The government has decided to give RM450 each to its 1.5 million civil servants from Grade 56 and below, to help them prepare for the upcoming Hari Raya celebrations in June.

"This bantuan khas (special aid) will also be enjoyed by over 0.8 million government retirees as an appreciation of their contribution, with a payment of RM225," the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement today.

This brings the total payout to about RM855 million, it said, adding that the money will be paid on May 24.
