KUALA LUMPUR: Get-rich-quick schemes are having a negative impact on the civil service as more than 50,000 government employees are believed to be actively involved in them.
What was most worrying was that many senior officers and heads of departments were encouraging their subordinates to participate in the schemes which promised quick and multiple returns for a small investment.Cuepacs secretary-general Ahmad Shah Mohd Zin said yesterday that the congress was very concerned with the development as it eroded the people's confidence in the service.He said the problem was so serious that the Public Service Department (PSD) issued a special circular banning civil servants from joining such schemes.The Circular 2/2009, signed by PSD director-general Tan Sri Ismail Adam, and which took effect on Jan 13, bans all categories of civil servants from promoting, participating or investing in such schemes.
The circular said the participation by a large number of civil servants in such schemes could mislead the public into thinking that the schemes were approved by the government.The circular described get-rich-quick schemes as a marketing method which promised high returns with small investment while the organisations that promoted such a scheme were not registered with any of the licensing authorities.The Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association (Fomca) fully supported the government's move to ban civil servants from the activities.Its secretary-general, Muhammad Shaani Abdullah, said the schemes were not only promoted by Malaysians but also foreigners through the Net.The schemes were usually based on the multi-level marketing model where early entrants gained more than those who joined later.
