Rise in salary should be worth it

According to documents freshly issued by the State Council, civil servants and other workers at State agencies have got salary hikes, while in surveys many civil servants have complained about their low incomes. Comments:

Many people oppose increasing the salaries of civil servants because they have all been tarred with the brush of corruption. If the authorities raise the salaries for civil servants, they need to strictly regulate them and continue the ongoing high pressure against graft first, so as to rally public support for the move.
