BANGKOK: The Royal Thai Army (RTA) on Tuesday (Aug 12) warned of possible retaliatory action against Cambodia after a landmine explosion severely injured a Thai soldier near Prasat Ta Muen Thom in Surin province, calling it graphic proof of Cambodia's breach of the ceasefire.

PUTRAJAYA: Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Bakar has urged civil servants to communicate in clear, simple language and avoid what he calls" Bahasa Putrajaya " - overly technical or convoluted jargon - when explaining government issues and policies, especially to target groups.

He was speaking at the"Reformasi Satu Kemestian " session, held in conjunction with the first anniversary of public service reforms here Tuesday . "In addressing communication between the upper, middle and lower groups, clear communication must be practised in the civil service. In meetings, I've stressed the importance of using simple language and avoiding too much 'bahasa Putrajaya'," he said.To bridge the communication gap between the government and the people, Shamsul Azri directed all corporate communication units to refine their approaches.

At the event, Shamsul Azri also launched four new Public Service Digitalisation Circulars aimed at streamlining government service delivery.
