No way up for civil servants who see abuse but don’t report it

No way up for civil servants who see abuse but don’t report it

PUTRAJAYA, Aug 16 — Senior civil servants found enabling abuse by keeping silent about this will be disciplined and denied promotions, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said when unveiling public service reforms today.

In an address delivered to thousands of government workers here, Anwar said the move is aimed at improving governance and eradicating misconduct. The Pakatan Harapan chief has made combatting corruption a cornerstone since taking office.

“It is the duty of each head of department to strengthen integrity and good governance. Many of them try to conceal abuses just to save face. No more,” Anwar said.

“Heads of departments who fail to report abuses by their subordinates will now be disciplined and denied promotion.”
