KUCHING: Public servants with an eye for business could benefit from a proposed contract scheme in the future, according to Philip Wong, director of the Sarawak Institute for Public Affairs.

Public Services Department director-general Borhan Dolah said the proposed scheme would cover only new appointments and would offer better pay, welfare and protection. He said many civil servants might want to run their own business but opted not to do so because of pensions, adding that this would result in unhappy and unproductive staff.
