KUALA LUMPUR: A group of armed forces veterans and civil service pensioners has handed a memorandum to Perikatan Nasional secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan outside Parliament, calling for a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) into the pension calculation formula under the Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA) 2024.
About 70 veterans and retirees, represented by Rafique Ali Ahmad Nordin, gathered outside Parliament today to voice their concerns.
Rafique said the RCI should examine why amounts linked to the previous 2% annual pension increase mechanism are being taken into account in the current scheme, despite a 2023 court ruling that the mechanism in the 2013 amendments to the Pensions Adjustment Act 1980 was unconstitutional and invalid.
