Bravo, no gifts for VIPs

I REFER to the report “No more gifts for visiting VIPs” (The Star, Feb 11).

Yes, bravo to Chief Secretary Tan Sri Ali Hamsa for issuing a “no gifts policy” to all ministries, departments and agencies, and presumably including schools. This directive will unquestionably resonate well with the rakyat in light of the endemic practice of giving gifts to VIPs at official functions.
