KUALA LUMPUR: Veterans who retired before Jan 1, 2013, are still awaiting pension adjustments, leaving them receiving lower pensions than those who retired after that date, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
Datuk Khlir Mohd Nor (PN-Ketereh) said the disparity remained unresolved despite repeated appeals.
He called on the Defence Ministry (Mindef) to provide a list of surviving veterans who retired before Jan 1, 2013, and disclose the cost of adjusting their pensions.
"I request Mindef to submit the list of veterans who retired before January 1, 2013, who are still around, and how much money is needed to resolve this pension adjustment," he said during the 2027 Budget debate in the Dewan Rakyat.
