KUALA LUMPUR: The number of civil servants involved in misconduct as raised in the Auditor-General’s Report is small, Chief Secretary to the Government Dr Ali Hamsa said today.

Dr Ali Hamsa, nonetheless, said the government viewed seriously the cases of misconduct and that efforts would be taken to overcome them.

“We have 1.52 million civil employees. The impression given (by the report) was that everybody is doing it. No, I can’t even say that it is the tip of the iceberg. It’s less than that.

“Those involved in wrongdoings are a small group but we would like to address them, he said during the Session With Media: The Auditor-General’s Report 2013 Series 3, at Angkasapuri here today.

He said disciplinary action taken included surcharge, witholding salary and promotions, and termination.
