Effective ethics: The civil service must be committed to ensuring that all members are treated with dignity and respect. — Bernama

PETALING JAYA: The recent government circular classifying actions by civil servants referring to colleagues as “sayang or dear”, as sexual harassment could be due to such incidents being on the rise, says the Congress of Union of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs).

Its secretary-general Abdul Rahman Mohd Nordin said there was no place for such behaviour or language, adding that the move may have been prompted by more frequent complaints.
