PUTRAJAYA: Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa has instructed all secretaries-general and heads of services to probe into allegations of sabotage to derail the administration and government.
“I am calling all civil servants to report any acts of sabotage to their respective secretaries-general and heads of services. From there, I will personally address the matter,” he said, adding that the rule of law and good governance must be upheld.
“Any deliberate attempt to sabotage and undermine the government and its administration will not be tolerated. Strict action will be taken against the perpetrators, without fear or favour.
“I give my assurance that the civil service will honour the mandate given by the rakyat to the present government.”
It was reported that civil servants appointed by the new government to various positions in the ministries had become victims of sabotage by those out to derail plans put in place by the Pakatan Harapan administration.
This has occurred in at least three ministries, resulting in the removal of a senior civil servant, who allegedly masterminded the sabotage of one ministry.
