MIRI June 5 — State Transport Minister Datuk Sri Lee Kim Shin has described the proposed policy of punitive action against federal civil servants for using English as uncalled for, saying that such a move, if implemented, will cause the country to go backwards.
“Such a move is uncalled for and instead of progressing and keeping up with globalisation trend, our country will be going backwards. Lee said instead of punishing federal civil servants for using English, they should be encouraged to learn and raise their standards in the language if the nation were to have a world class civil service apart from the use of Bahasa Malaysia.
“To gain latest knowledge in science and ICT, especially various software and applications, we need to have working knowledge in English. When our government officers go overseas to attend training courses, workshops, seminars, conferences or delivery conferences papers, meetings and et cetera, English is the language that is widely used.
