  • Talkback Thursday: Is our civil service bloated?

    Former Treasury Secretary General Tan Sri Sheriff Mohd Kassim at a recent forum called for the civil service to be downsized. This suggestion has been shot down by The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services or Cuepacs. Last year, public servants pay totalled RM74 billion with pensions amounting to about RM19 billion. Collectively, these payments formed the biggest portion of government’s operating expenditure.

     

    So in the face of the rising cost of living, and a challenging economic climate, naturally, burgeoning remuneration and pensions are easy targets. We’re asking you if you think that’s fair? Do you think we have a bloated civil service?

  • "Kid, It's time to have that talk"

    When the Richard Huckle case came to light last year, everyone was shocked and disgusted at how a child sexual predator moved at ease within our communities. Since then, there have been several conversations about how to better protect our children and one suggestion that keeps coming up is the need for sex education to be introduced. It's still a difficult idea to grasp among most people, but it seems as if there is an urgent need now, more than ever, to talk about it. Ezra speaks to June Low, an independent sex educator who has been holding comprehensive sex ed workshops for years, locally.
