Civil servants get salaries by mail

BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: The provincial administration
plans to use postal services to send the salaries of its
employees working in remote areas.

Governor H.M. Said said the service will expedite the payment
process because the state postal agency Perum Pos dan Giro covers
all districts and villages, the Antara news agency reported.

Currently, a state employee has to go to the nearest regency
capital to collect his monthly pay packet, which is costly and
time consuming for the employee.

The governor said with the new method, government employees
living on islands around Kotabaru regency would no longer have to
cross the sea in fishing boats as they do now. (par)
