Counter-post on "Government servant in Sarawak not well paid?"

On second thought, I'd like to retract my initial views on this issue.

Probably, I was wrong when I said that they are not well paid. I came up to that conclusion much too early. Being someone who has no interest in government jobs, I tend to compare the government staff salary with that of those who works in a private company. I may have overlooked the extra benefits that government staff received in their entire terms of service.

Yes. They are actually OVERPAID. Overpaid in the sense that, they work less for that amount of salary. If you have to really calculate their actuall working days, their working days are way too short. As per my comparision below:

Private Company :
Normal Working hours : 8 hrs x 22 days = 176 hrs
Saturday : 4 hrs x 4 days = 16 hrs
Total working hrs in a mth = 192 hrs @ 24 days

Government staff :
Normal Working hours : 7.5 hrs x 22 days = 165 hrs
Less daily tea break : 2 hrs x 22 days - 44 hrs
Total working hrs in a mth = 121 hrs @ 15.1 days

From the above simple analysis, we can draw up a conclusion that government servants only work 6 months in a year...isn't that not overpaid?
