Civil service’s culture of secrecy a big bane, says group - superadmin - 09-28-2021 PETALING JAYA: The implementation of the freedom of information (FOI) enactments have been inconsistent, according to the Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ). Its executive director, Wathshlah G Naidu, said the civil service must be fully equipped to implement the enactments. “The civil service needs more capacity building and training to implement the enactments,” she said in a webinar titled “#MyRightToKnow in Times of Crisis” in conjunction with today’s UN International Day for Universal Access to Information. Currently, there are two state enactments on freedom of information – the Freedom of Information (Selangor) Enactment 2011 (Enactment 8) and the Penang Freedom of Information Enactment 2010 (Enactment 16). - More -
