The Federal Government today announced that all civil servants and government pensioners will be getting a special payment of RM500 each before the Hari Raya… which most likely to fall on 10 September 2010.

Of course this is good news to all the almost 2 million civil servants and the more than half million of government pensioners… getting extra RM500 after they receive their coming August salary or pension will sure make them smile.

But the question is, would that be enough??? RM500 is too small for today’s economic spending power… even a laptop briefcase can cost more than RM500… 😛

So what can you get with extra RM500 money???… well, for me that will be almost enough to pay my two months internet broadband and mobile phone bills… but not enough to pay my one month car loan 😛

Anyways, I’m sure everyone appreciate the extra monies… but hopefully this is not part of our annual bonus… 😛 who knows we end-up being short-change (again) for our end of year bonus… 😛
