It’s a breach of work ethics to FB at work, not graft

PUTRAJAYA: Surfing on social media sites or engaging in personal matters during work hours is a breach of work ethics, not a form of corruption.

In clarifying a statement attributed to her name in media reports recently, MACC deputy chief commissioner Datuk Sutinah Sutan said she did not say that Facebooking during office hours was a form of graft.

Instead, Sutinah said engaging in personal tasks during work hours was an act of “curi tulang (shirking from official duties)” that went against good work principles.

“We know that corruption can manifest itself in many forms, such as in instances of conflict of interests and bribery.

“(But) to curi tulang is not a form of corruption. It’s a manifestation of a wrongdoing that violates ethics and work culture,” Sutinah said after witnessing the signing of the corporate integrity pledge by the Lembaga Kemajuan Kelantan Selatan (Kesedar) here yesterday.

On Sunday, Sutinah was quoted in the news as saying that civil servants and staff of government-linked companies surfing on social media or engaging in personal matters during work hours might be categorised as having committed corruption.

Separately, on the corporate integrity pledge, Sutinah said 161 private and public sector organisations had signed and committed to the pact.

She reminded these companies to abide by the five principles of the pledge: to promote values of good governance and integrity; strengthen internal mechanisms against corruption; comply with the law to fight corruption; curb any form of graft; and support anti-graft initiatives mooted by the Government and MACC.

MACC: Facebooking during office hours a form of graft

MALACCA: Civil servants and staff of government-linked companies (GLCs) surfing social media or engaging in personal matters during working hours may be categorised as having committed corruption, said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

“For instance, if a person spends three hours during his or her stipulated working hours for personal tasks, it can be deemed a form of corruption as the Government trusts and pays its employees to fully utilise the working period to complete tasks relating to the respective jobscope,” said MACC deputy chief commissioner Datuk Sutinah Sutan.

This also applied to those who surfed Facebook or other forms of social media, as such actions could be considered as straying from their job specifications, she said after witnessing the signing of the corporate integrity pledge by Kumpulan Melaka Berhad (KMB) at a hotel here yesterday.

KMB is the first state government agency to sign the pledge aimed at creating a business environment free from corruption and upholding anti-graft principles.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam was the guest of honour at the event.

Sutinah said the act of engaging in other personal tasks during work hours could be considered as contravening the employment contract and culprits could face disciplinary action if initiated by respective disciplinary boards.

She noted that although such offences were not covered under the MACC Act, the commission could advise the disciplinary board on the types of actions to be meted out against errant staff of such government departments and GLCs.

Meanwhile, Sutinah confirmed that the commission had started screening general election candidates following the request from both Barisan Nasional and the Opposition.

Meanwhile, Cuepacs president Datuk Omar Osman urged civil servants to give priority to their duties during working hours.

“While social media is a good way to encourage people to be more tech-savvy and updated on current affairs, civil servants should dedicate their work hours to their respective ministry, department or agency,” he said.

He also proposed a proper mechanism to define what websites, if surfed by a civil servant during working hours, could be considered straying from their job specifications.

“There should be clear guidelines, not only for the workers to understand what actions can be penalised, but also for the disciplinary committee to determine what is within the job scope and what is not,” he said.

Kaji gaji maksimum

KUALA LUMPUR 5 Jan. - Kongres Kesatuan Pekerja-Pekerja Di Dalam Perkhidmatan Awam (CUEPACS) berharap kadar kenaikan gaji penjawat awam yang mencapai tahap maksimum dinaikkan sebanyak lima hingga 10 peratus.

Presidennya, Datuk Omar Osman berkata, peratusan kenaikan itu berdasarkan jumlah penjawat awam yang mencapai gaji maksimum tidak ramai iaitu kurang dari 300,000 orang.
''Kajian mengenai kenaikan gaji penjawat awam yang telah mencapai tahap maksimum ini sudah lama dinantikan mereka yang terlibat dan kami mengharapkan tahun 2013 akan memberikan berita baik kepada golongan tersebut.

''Namun, CUEPACS berharap mekanisme kenaikan itu tidak boleh dibuat secara pukul rata bagi memastikan keadilan kepada semua," katanya ketika dihubungi di sini hari ini.
Tambah Omar, pihaknya mencadangkan kenaikan sebanyak lima peratus diberikan kepada kumpulan pengurusan profesional dan 10 peratus bagi kumpulan pelaksana dalam gred satu hingga 40.

Semalam, Ketua Setiausaha Negara (KSN), Datuk Seri Dr. Ali Hamsa berkata, Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA) akan mengkaji pelaksanaan kenaikan gaji penjawat awam yang mencapai tahap maksimum selaras dengan keperluan semasa dan peningkatan kadar inflasi.

Inisiatif itu, katanya, akan diteliti terlebih dahulu selepas pihaknya menerima laporan khas yang disediakan oleh Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam (SPA) menjelang pertengahan bulan ini.

Kata beliau, selepas pihak JPA menerima laporan daripada suruhanjaya, mereka akan mengkaji penemuannya sebelum sebarang cadangan dikemukakan kepada kerajaan.
