The document discusses the Salary Benchmarking Policy Administration (SBPA), which was announced in 2012 as a new salary scheme for Malaysian civil servants but was later cancelled. Key points: - SBPA proposed salary increases of 7-13% but was criticized for uneven increases across grades that widened pay gaps. - CUEPACS, the civil servants' union, said that 1.4 million members did not agree to the SBPA scheme due to lack of consultation. - Facing backlash, the government established a commission to review public service and cancelled SBPA in March 2012, returning to the previous salary system.
