Ignore urgings to cut down civil service, Cuepacs tells Najib

The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) today urged Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to ignore the calls to cut down the bloated civil service.

This is because there are only 500,000 civil servants and not 1.6 million as claimed by others, reasoned Cuepacs president Azih Muda.

"According to Article 132 of the Federal Constitution, our civil service included the police, army, health and education, whereas these four branches are not included in other developed countries," he said.
