MACHANG: Civil servants must set a good example by refraining from participating in any assemblies organised by the public, said Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar.
He said if any civil servant were found to have joined such gatherings, their respective department heads may take further action, as it would constitute a breach of established rules.
"Such assemblies actually violate the code of conduct and discipline for civil servants.
"As public servants, we are supposed to set a good example, and I believe civil servants' involvement in these events does not serve any benefit," he said after launching the Attorney-General's Chambers' Santuni Madani programme at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Pulai Chondong here on Saturday (July 26).
Mohd Dusuki also handed over cash aid of RM3,000 and a television set to the school, as well as batik cloths and water bottles to over 1,000 villagers and students.
The AGC had issued a statement explaining that civil servants are subject to a specific directive from the Chief Secretary to the Government prohibiting their participation in any public assemblies. – Bernama
