Ritual Bagi Bagi Duit Ala Kuwait

Ini adalah cerita tentang ritual tahunan di Kuwait. Tidak ada yang menggembirakan  melebihi Independence Day & Liberation Day di Kuwait yang baru akan tiba tanggal 25 dan 26 February 2012 nanti. Apalagi yang ditunggu tunggu warga kalau bukan tambahan penghasilan diluar gaji rutin sebagai karyawan. Seperti tahun tahun yang lalu, hari ini berbagai media, baik koran dan TV  sudah membuat berita berita tentang rejeki nomplok yang akan diberikan pemerintah kepada warganya. Arab Times memberitakan kenaikan gaji 35 % dan Kuwait Times memberitakan rejeki nomplok paling sedikit KD 250 untuk Kuwaitis dan KD 50 untuk expatriate (KD 1 = Rp 31.000).  Hari Kemerdekaan Dan Pembebasan Kuwait dari Irak merupakan hari yang istimewa dan ditunggu tunggu seluruh warganya. Tinggal tunggu saja sambil menghitung berapa jumlah anggota keluarga yang akan dapat shodaqoh, apakah berita ini menjadi kenyataan seperti tahun tahun yang lalu atau ada kejutan yang lebih besar lagi dari Emir Kuwait. Setahu saya, ritual bagi bagi duit hanya terjadi di bebrapa negara di Timur Tengah dan Brunei Darussalam saja.

Govt to issue decision on CSC special report on salary raise Two studies submitted for consideration KUWAIT CITY, Feb 5: The government will issue its decision on the special report of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) concerning the raise in salaries of Kuwaiti employees in the public and private sectors as well as retirees by up to 35 percent of the basic salary, which excludes those who have already got their increment, reports Al-Watan Arabic daily. The report of the CSC does not include increases for employees in the management of investigations and legal, which were identified by between 50 percent and 75 percent of the allowance of the judiciary. Meanwhile, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) has submitted two studies to the government on the salary scale for Kuwaitis working in the government and private sector companies, reports Al-Shahed daily. The first study shows the CSC has cut down on exaggerated material demands of some employees while the second study shows the CSC has included a comprehensive increment for all state employees. The sources also said the CSC, in the meantime, has approved many allowances such as adequate car allowance for employees driving for work in their own vehicle, risk allowance and screen allowance for computer users. The sources pointed out the minimum allowance will be KD 200. However, the Cabinet is reportedly reluctant to take a decision and has thrown the ball in the court of the new government which is expected to be formed shortly.
