PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said that civil servants should criticise actions by the Unity Government which are found to be in violation of the law.

Speaking at a monthly meeting with staff of the Prime Minister's Department here today, Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said he should also not be spared.

"My emphasis is on enforcement. What I learned, especially at the Ministry of Finance, there are many questionable files.

"To blame the officers...if there’s a 'minute' from the minister or the prime minister, the officer has to comply with, but I have given clear instructions that if there is a 'minute', even from the prime minister, himself, if there is a violation of the law, I have to be informed first," he said.
