BERA: Community Development Department (Kemas) employees and teachers must not neglect their real duties as educators although they are now allowed to be involved in politics, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Prime Minister said the details on their permitted involvement in politics would be issued by the departments or agencies involved such as Kemas and would be referred for approval by the Rural Development Ministry before serving as a guideline for them.

"We have to wait for the details to see the extent of involvement allowed... whether they can hold a post in a party, to attend political programmes and no action to be taken against them if they do so, unlike before. "We are allowing this in respecting the democratic practice while the National Union of the Teaching Profession has agreed to it. Although if allowed, it should not adversely affect their real duties,” he said.

Ismail Sabri said this at a news conference after attending a closed-door meeting with staff of Bera district Kemas at its office, here.
