The Macau Civil Servants Association is calling on the government to increase the salary of civil servants by five percent in 2019. A group of ten members from the association visited the government headquarters to express their opinions regarding next year’s policy address. According to lawmaker Pereira Coutinho, the association hopes that cash handouts can be increased to MOP12,000; subsidies given to the elderlies can increase to MOP10,000; and social security fund retirement pensions can reach MOP5,000. The association also urged the government to build eight public houses in the future.
