Giving bonus to ALL results in a lackadaisical Government

Reading this article Cuepacs accepts Government decision that the Government will not pay all Government Servants the 2 month bonus claimed, gave me a huge sense of relief. The Government should not kowtow to such requests arbitrarily, but instead adopt policies used by the private corporations when deciding on bonuses and other meritorious payments to its workers. Since the Government is touting the implementing of KRAs and KPIs to gauge and measure the performance of all government sectors, (and has also roped in the services of Idris Jala to do it), the Govt should extend such measuring mechanism to evaluate government servants at all levels. In short, Bonuses should only be paid to workers who have performed, and not to all. With the present policy, even the "dead woods" will get bonuses, while the hard working ones will be "demotivated". The end result of this 'generosity' will be a lackadaisical Government, which is precisely what we are getting now..

bonus payments; reward only the deserving..!
