KULIM: Cuepacs president Datuk Omar Osman has urged civil servants not to be involved in the illegal rally on July 9.

He reminded the 1.2 million civil servants that they are bound by ‘Aku Janji’ signed when they joined the service as it prohibit them from joining such activities.

“Cuepacs will not defend those arrested as they know the risks. We advise them to comply with ‘Aku Janji’,” he said at a gathering of Kulim district civil servants at Dewan Bandaran here yesterday.

In another development, Omar said the issue regarding the appointment of the director-general of Public Works Department (PWD) should not be politicised.

He said the five employees unions met him yesterday saying that they intend to meet with the Chief Secretary to the

Government and Public Works Minister.

The issue arose when Datuk Seri Judin Abdul Karim rejected the post of CEO of Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) while Datuk Mohd Noor Yaacob was already appointed to take over from him as Publics Works Department director-general. — Bernama
