BERA: Community Development Department (Kemas) employees and teachers must not neglect their real duties as educators although they are now allowed to be involved in politics, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Prime Minister said the details on their permitted involvement in politics would be issued by the departments or agencies involved such as Kemas and would be referred for approval by the Rural Development Ministry before serving as a guideline for them.
