G25 rep says four academics broke civil service conduct in advising Rulers on Rome Statute
G25 rep Tan Sri Alwi Jantan says the four academics who advised the Conference of Rulers on the Rome Statute had violated their public service code of conduct in their summary paper, which makes their positions at the public universities untenable. — Picture by Shafwan Zaidon
He named the four as International Islamic University of Malaysia law lecturer Associate Prof Shamrahayu Abdul Aziz, Universiti Teknologi MARA deputy vice-chancellor and dean of Faculty of Law Prof Datuk Rahmat Mohamad, and Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia law lecturers Fareed Mohd Hassan and Hisham Hanapi.
The government pensioner said that being employed by public institutions, the four are public servants and subject to the code of conduct for all civil service staff.“Therefore, I am of the opinion that their positions in their respective universities are no longer tenable,” said Alwi.
