CUEPACS Tangguh Tuntutan Kenaikan Gaji

PUTRAJAYA, 23 Mac (Bernama) -- Cuepacs akan menangguhkan tuntutan kenaikan gaji bagi 1.2 juta anggota perkhidmatan awam sehingga keadaan ekonomi negara bertambah baik, kata setiausaha agungnya Ahmad Shah Mohd Zin Isnin.

Beliau bagaimanapun berkata kesatuan itu akan terus berunding dengan Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA)tentang isu berkaitan penambahbaikan perkhidmatan seperti kenaikan pangkat, ujian penilaian kecekapan, pertukaran dan kerja lebih masa.

Bercakap kepada Bernama di sini, beliau berkata kini, kakitangan awam perlu memberi tumpuan terhadap usaha membantu kerajaan meningkatkan kutipan hasil dan menambah baik sistem penyampaian.

Ahmad berkata Jabatan Kastam, Jabatan Imigresen, Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri dan Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan adalah antara jabatan yang boleh membantu meningkatkan jumlah kutipan hasil kerajaan melalui penguatkuasaan lebih ketat.

Beliau menyeru kakitangan awam yang berkhidmat dengan pihak berkuasa tempatan dan majlis bandar raya supaya meningkatkan jumlah kutipan hasil melalui tindakan penguatkuasaan yang sewajarnya.

Katanya Cuepacs akan memberi sokongan penuh kepada kerajaan kerana kebajikan anggotanya berkait rapat dengan "kesihatan ekonomi" negara.

Mengenai penambahbaikan sistem penyampaian, Ahmad menyeru kakitangan awam supaya bersikap inovatif dalam mencari jalan bagi meningkatkan produktiviti seperti menubuhkan kumpulan kualiti (Kumpulan Q) di jabatan masing-masing.

Faster government projects with e-tender

The Star

KUALA LUMPUR: The Works Ministry has launched an e-tender management system to check bureaucracy and to promote transparency.

Works Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Zin Mohamed said contractors should start using the new system if they do not want to be left out in the tender-bidding process.

“We can reduce the processing time from four months to four weeks when proposals are submitted via the e-tender system, he said.

The system would help develop the National Construction Procurement Repository, the data from which could be used for construction forward procurement, construction price index analysis, construction schedule of rate and national material consumption pattern, he added.

Mohd Zin said this after launching the national e-Tendering Initiative at the CIDB convention centre here yesterday where 97 projects worth RM3.3mil were given out via the balloting process.

Projects could be approved faster with greater efficiency using the e-tender system that was created by the Works Department and the Construction Industry Development Board.

Mohd Zin said the tenders are advertised online at www.etender.com.my and in the mainstream media.

The Tender Opening Committee will evaluate tenders online.

CIDP e-Construct Services acting chief executive officer Dr Idzuan Alias said the system was as secure as e-banking, where bid for tenders could also be done online at real time.

Earlier in his speech, Mohd Zin called on Class F contractors to upgrade their status as it was impossible for the government to create jobs for all of them.

Furthermore, of the 40,000 Class F contractors only 17,000 are really active, he said.
