Its president Azih Muda said the Property Management Division (PMD) of the Prime Minister’s Department had taken the action following the transfer of staff from Putrajaya to Kuala Lumpur or vice-versa or upon their retirement.
He said what was more disappointing was that those affected were not informed in advance, resulting in some having to pay hefty fines of up to thousands of ringgit.
“They (the civil servants) did not commit any wrongdoing and the notices have landed them in great difficulty, making them depressed, stressful and much more,” he told a press conference here today.
Azih said Cuepacs was appealing for the penalties and notices to be revoked before Jan 1.
According to a civil servant, Mohd Fadhlin Arshad, 38, he received a directive to transfer to Kuala Lumpur from Putrajaya in January 2016 but last August, he was informed of a RM58,000 penalty and asked to vacate the Putrajaya government quarters where he had been staying.
“The notice was issued on the grounds that I was working outstation when I am actually still working in the federal territory.
“In the meantime, I have applied to extend the period to reside in the government quarters as my wife has just given birth and we are waiting for the house under the 1Malaysia Civil Servants Housing (PPA1M) Programme in Putrajaya to be ready,” he said.
