ONLY a small number of civil servants are suspected of leaking out confidential government information through social media, said Special Affairs Department (Jasa) director-general Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi.

Though they were a small group, he condemned their actions as bringing shame to the country’s civil services and called for severe action to be taken including thorough internal enquiries in the departments of those found to have done so.
