Ombudsman agency could strengthen integrity in civil service

I REFER to the report “Misconduct in public agencies rising’” (The Star, Nov 30) on the number of misconduct cases involving workers in public agencies that were investigated by the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) this year.

According to EAIC chairman Tan Sri Dr Ismail Bakar, the figure (50 as of October) was slightly higher than the 36 cases recorded in the same period last year.
