The Deputy Premier revealed that this was instructed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim through the federal cabinet and subsequent circulars by the Chief Secretary to the Government to all members of the federal civil service. “No longer seated after at best, behind at worst any of Federal Minister in any of the Federal official functions,” said Dr Sim in a Facebook post early today.
