Govt applies for stay of payment on pension adjustments

The government has filed an application to stay the High Court’s decision allowing a pensioner’s judicial review regarding the payment of pension adjustment for retirees based on their final salary according to the 2016 Public Services Department circular, effective January 2022.

The government and the public service director-general filed the application today at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur, citing the existence of special circumstances that justify the stay of the decision pending appeal at the Court of Appeal.
