27 civil servants disciplined last year for breach of conduct, Dewan Rakyat told

KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 27 civil servants were subjected to disciplinary action last year for making public statements in violation of regulations, says Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa. The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) said a public servant is bound by a Letter of Undertaking under sub-regulation 20(3) of the Public Officers (Appointment, Promotion and Termination of Service) Regulations 2012. "Uncontrolled public statements, particularly those involving the accuracy of data, are a concern as they may cause undue public anxiety," she told Datuk Mumtaz Md Nawi (PN-Tumpat) in the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (Aug 12). Mumtaz wanted to know the number of civil servants who faced disciplinary action for expressing opinions or criticism of government policies. She also wanted to know whether or not the government would review the guidelines on freedom of speech within the public service. Zaliha said that for the moment, the government believes that existing regulations should be maintained so that public officers uphold prescribed standards of conduct. According to the Letter of Undertaking, every public officer is responsible for complying with all regulations, including the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993, General Orders, circulars, circular letters, rules and other directives issued throughout their service with the government.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 — Lembah Pantai MP Datuk Fahmi Fadzil is working to secure temporary housing for victims of a recent fire at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) owned People's Housing Project. The Communications Minister said the matter was discussed with Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa and Kuala Lumpur mayor, Datuk Seri Dr Maimunah Mohd Sharif last Saturday. 'There are 14 families currently at the relief centre. Several other families have chosen to stay with their relatives. We are waiting for the relocation… at least there are more comfortable places for them. 'I have yet to receive the latest information but for families with schoolgoing children, we have worked with the Social Welfare Department, the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council to ensure they have equipment, uniforms and such,' he told the media after attending the Daughter of Penang, Daughter of Palestine programme at The Chow Kit Hotel here yesterday which was also attended by Human Resources Minister Steven Sim. Fourteen squatter houses and four shop premises were destroyed in the first that occurred on the night of Aug 8 and the victims are currently housed at the relief centre at Sekolah Rendah Agama Al-Khawarizmi. — Bernama
