KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 — A new set of guidelines will be issued to civil servants to ensure support letters or references do not end up being misused for personal interests, the Prime Minister’s Office said today.

It said this was among the matters agreed upon in the Special Cabinet Meeting on Anti-Corruption chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. “The government takes a serious view of the issue of issuing support letters with elements of corruption and abuse of power to the extent of jeopardising the image of the government administration,” the statement read.

The meeting also agreed in principle with proposed improvements to the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 to ensure a more reliable and effective complaint channel. The PMO said the government is committed to implementing the governance empowerment agenda as best as possible to support the country’s development and ensure that all of its efforts are free from elements of corruption, malpractice and abuse of power. — Bernama
