Retiree Aminah Ahmad’s lawyer says it would be ‘unjust’ for the government to further delay the implementation of the Federal Court order restoring section 3 of the Pension Adjustment Act 1980.
The letter calls for the government to “take immediate action to adjust the pension calculation in accordance with Sections 3 and 6 of the Pension Adjustment Act 1980”. “The risk of a less favourable situation never existed in the original provision,” Chief Judge of Malaya Zabidin Diah said when delivering the court’s decision.
The Federal Court went on to order the reinstatement of the original section 3 of Pensions Adjustment Act, 1980.
