Failure to appear before PAC amounts to contempt of Parliament, says Zuki

PETALING JAYA: The failure of any serving or former high-ranking civil servants to appear before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) can be considered contempt of Parliament, says Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali.

The Chief Secretary to the Government said the proposal by the PAC chairman for the government to establish a mechanism to ensure that all current or former public officials comply with PAC's instructions to attend any proceedings to provide testimony, should be taken into consideration.
