Civil servant wage hike approved amid controversy

22 February 2012
A move to raise the minimum wage of civil servants to 210,000 kyat 
($210) a month has been ratified without dissent by Parliament, days 
after being publicly challenged by the Finance Minister Hla Tun.
The decision risks a tussle with Cabinet, who are understood to have 
backed demands to withdraw the proposals in an alleged bid to protect 
the country’s faltering economy.
