MUAR: Civil servants have been advised not to keep up with the Jones’ and live beyond their means as this could eventually lead to greed.
Women, Family, Health and Community Development committee chairman Dr Robia Kosai said greed could lead to corruption.
“Civil servants should have integrity, dedication and honour and must perform their duties well to serve the country,” she said recently.
Dr Robia said this at the closing of a course organised by the Malaysian Institute of Public Administration (Intan) attended by some 107 new diplomatic and administration officers.
She hoped these new officers would avoid peer pressure and said there was no shortcut in gaining material wellbeing except to work hard.
Dr Robia said officers should look at cases involving their counterparts who have been in service for many years but their future became bleak when they were involved in corruption.
“Don’t spoil your future with the negative influences as you have the potential to move up in your career line in years to come,” she said.
Dr Robia said they have the potential to be appointed as the heads of departments, director generals and diplomats serving Malaysia in foreign lands.
