SPM flag error: Disciplinary action taken against officers
PUTRAJAYA: The government has identified the individuals responsible for the error involving the display of the Jalur Gemilang in the SPM examination results analysis report.
Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar said the individuals were categorised into two groups — those in the DG48 grade and below, and those in DG48 and above.
"Action has been — and will continue to be — taken against all individuals involved," he told reporters at the conclusion of the Southeast Asia Anti-Corruption Conference: Recalling Jakarta Statement.
He said the Education Ministry's disciplinary board is handling cases involving lower-grade officers, while the Public Service Department (PSD) is overseeing investigations and disciplinary proceedings for senior officers.
"For those at the DG48 level and above, action is being taken under the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993," he added.
Shamsul said the Education Ministry had submitted its report, and the matter is now under the PSD's purview.
