Officers appointed to be Assistant Conservatora, Grade II., are not eligible for promotion until they have passed the Civil Service examination for the Malay language and General Orders, and an examination in Forest law and the Land Enactment.
10. Subject to the necessities of the service, leave of absence on half salary may be granted after a period of six years' resident service without any special grounds. It may be given before the expiration of that period in cases of serious indisposition, or of urgent private affairs. In the absence of special grounds, the leave in such case must not exceed one-sixth of the officer's resident service; on special grounds it may exceed that period by six months. In addition to the above, vacation leave on full pay may be granted, if no inconvenience or expense is caused thereby, not exceeding three months in any two years.
11. The present rule as to superannuation is that in the case of ill health an officer may be allowed to retire on a pension after ten full years' resident service; otherwise he must have attained the age of 55. For ten full years' resident service fifteen-sixtieths of the average annual salary of the retiring officer's fixed appointments for the three years prior to retirement may be awarded, to which one-sixtieth may be added for each additional year's service; but no addition will be made in respect of any service beyond 35 years. For pension purposes absence on vacation leave counts as full service, and leave on half pay as half service.
12. A deduction of 4 per cent. is made from the salaries of all Federated Malay States officers as a contribution to the Government Widows' and Orphans' Pension System.
13. The currency of the Federated Malay States is a silver dollar currency. For purposes of local payment, salaries are converted into dollars at a fixed rate of 24. 4ď. to the dollar.
