SEPANG: Civil servants should not be slacking in their jobs just because a new director-general has yet to be appointed for the Public Service Department, said Chief Secretary to the Government Datuk Seri Dr Ali Hamsa.
“The system is already there and they should just continue working. Don't make this an excuse to relax,” he told reporters when visiting the National Blue Ocean Strategy (NBOS) 3 project here yesterday. The project involves the ministries of Defence and Agriculture and Agro-based Industry for the cultivation of rock melons using the fertigation method.
