Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar hoped that the bonus, to be paid in January 2023, would spur them to work harder.

“In appreciation of the services of state civil servants in mobilising the government administration, I hereby announce a bonus of RM900 to 14,000 eligible recipients, he said when tabling Budget 2023 at the Terengganu State Assembly sitting at Wisma Darul Iman, in Kuala Terengganu, today.
