Kuala Lumpur: The Government has never had any plan or discussion to reduce the number of civil servants in the country.
Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the Government has always been grateful for the cooperation extended by civil servants.
“Awesome TV’s news programme Berita 757 reported that there seemed to be “observers” who have proposed that the number of civil servants be reduced.
“The Government vehemently denies claims that the number of civil servants will be reduced.
“As such, I urge Berita 757 to explain this ridiculous idea and proposal,” he said in a Twitter post on
Meanwhile, Fahmi said the Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) is committed to helping Sabah in matters related to broadcasting and internet networks.
He said the matter was discussed with Sabah Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Arifin Mohd Arif during Mohd Arifin’s courtesy visit with the Ministry’s delegation to his office in Angkasapuri, on Wednesday.
Through a post on Facebook, Fahmi said he also shared the three main focuses of KKD that need to be achieved this year, which are the strengthening of communication infrastructure, cyber security and digital economy investment.
On Jan 20, Fahmi during the press conference of the KKD 2023-2025 Strategic Plan Meeting and the KKD Agenda 2023 in Melaka informed that the infrastructure aspect would involve internet access and telecommunication services while the security aspect involves data and cyber.
