SULTAN Sharafuddin Idris Shah’s call to fight corruption all the way and to punish severely those found guilty by the courts will certainly receive the full endorsement of all Malaysians, “‘Charge corrupt politicians’” (The Star, Aug 24).

Integrity and good moral values are essential if we are to have a clean, efficient and trustworthy administration. To achieve this objective, it is necessary to have a work culture which incorporates honesty, trust, discipline, responsibility and transparency. Civil servants must pave the way for the emergence of this culture.
