The Kelantan government has joined Selangor and Penang in not sending its civil servants for the National Civics Bureau (BTN) courses.

Kelantan Menteri Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said today he objected to sending the state civil servants for courses organised by the BTN so long as curriculum was not changed in accordance with Islam.

NONE He said Kelantan, together with the other two Pakatan Rakyat states, had agreed not to send their officers for the BTN courses.

"If Selangor rejects, Penang rejects, there's no reason for me to send (the civil servants)," he told a news conference here.

However, he did not propose to ban his officers from joining the courses.

Last week the Selangor government banned its civil servants and students of tertiary institutions owned by the it from attending the BTN courses and the Penang government followed suit with a ban on its civil servants on grounds that the courses were used to spread the BN propaganda.
