Civil service must retain English


I AM shocked by director-general of the Public Service Department Datuk Mohd Khairul Adib Abd Rahman’s statement that all official government correspondence must be in Malay from now on, “Civil service told to use BM” (The Star, Feb 11).

The purpose of all government departments is to provide a service to the public, which comprise not only government servants but also private individuals who run the businesses that make this country work.
