Wanting to see the public agency's administration landscape improved, Hashim also advised civil servants to work with integrity and stay away from corruption.

He said civil servants also must work on time, be honest and dedicated in discharging their duties and responsibilities.

Apart from that, he said they should not get involved in politics although it is not prohibited in a democratic country. But if any of them still want to hold on to their respective political post, then maybe they should quit, he added.

He also wants civil servants to be sincere and trustworthy when given the responsibility and never betray their respective department and superior.
