Specific laws needed to curb graft among civil servants, says Abu Zahar Ujang


PETALING JAYA: There should be specific laws to weed out corruption among government servants, says Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang.

"The enactment of the Misconduct In Public Office Act should be sped up as the board views seriously the misconduct of officers of public bodies which result in the deliberate leakages and losses of government funds," he said when handing over recommendations of the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board (Acab) to the Special Committee on Corruption (SCC) in Parliament on Thursday (April 21).
