Rafidah against punitive measures to ensure BM use in civil service

PETALING JAYA: Other Asean countries may not respond well if Malaysian civil servants are forced to use Bahasa Malaysia when corresponding with the international community, says Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz.

She said this in response to Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Zuki Ali's call for the Public Service Department (JPA) to consider punitive measures to enforce the use of Bahasa Malaysia in the civil service.
