Cuepacs: Civil service recruitment based on merit, competency

KUALA LUMPUR: The public service has never set race as a determining factor in hiring or promoting civil servants, as claimed by certain quarters.

Congress of Union of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) president Datuk Adnan Mat said the recruitment and appointment of staff in the public service are based on merit and candidates’ competence without involving quotas as stipulated by the Public Services Commission (PSC).
