PUTRAJAYA: All 961 former staff of the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) have been compensated a minimum of three months' wages, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke. “The ministry worked hard to ensure the staff of SPAD are compensated. “We promised that every SPAD staff would get a compensation based on their years of service, with a minimum of three months' wages if you have served less than three years,” said Loke at a press conference. He added that all staff would be offered a job, either at the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD), which replaced SPAD effective Jan 1, and other ministry agencies such as the Road Transport Department (JPJ). According to him, claims by former SPAD staff that the ministry had gone back on their promise to provide them jobs was not fair.
