ONLY 20% GRATUITY FOR OPTIONAL PENSIONERS?

I was shocked, to say the least, when I read the latest circular from JPA saying that for all those approved for optional retirement as of 1 February 2010 (that includes me) will only be paid 20% of the gratuity they are supposed to get on retirement.

It is unfair! Why should we be treated this way so suddenly? I have made plans to effectively use the money on my retirement.

My HQ has sent my application for optional retirement on 18 January 2010 as it is according to JPA's SOP to only send the letter 6 months before the date, not more.

I hope and pray that my application will be approved before 1 February! They told me that they have gone through my application.

I will not change my mind though.

Gratuity; really 20%? What's your plan after retirement? UDM or UMK? Wish to get your first ever novel...

Thanks God my application for retirement has been approved by JPA. So, the new circulra does not affect me.

Most probably I will choose UDM as it is nearer, but deep inside I still prefer UMK. Still have not made up my mind yet. Have to see their offer.

Liza,

Baiknya hati sudi tolong Datin Anne.

Sebenarnya saya memang dah lama mencari Datin, sejak masuk sekolah menengah lagi. Bukan apa, hanya untuk menyambung semula silaturrahim yg terputus.

Ketika usia begini saya begitu nostalgik akan kisah-kisah lama...kisah-kisah mandi sungai, pancing ikan, curi buah, dan kawan-kawan...

Sayangnya Datin tak berapa ingat dah kepada saya...tetapi my memories are still very strong...
