Disciplinary Action

The exercise of disciplinary action in the public sector is based on a set of clearly defined regulations and policies. The following are links to related regulations:

Public Service Regulation (Behaviour and Discipline) - Amendment 2002 (Malay version only)

Public Sector Disciplinary Board Rules and Regulations 1993 (Malay version only)

Should disciplinary action be actually initiated against any public service employee, guidelines exist to facilitate and manage the process. Key points of reference include:

Guideline on Disciplinary Action (Malay version only)

Guideline on Surcharge (Malay version only)

Finally, to assist employees in overcoming disciplinary and performance-related issues, the Government provides aid in the form of Psychological Services and Disciplinary Clinics. These services could help improve morale and motivate, and facilitate changes in behaviour in the working environment with the goal of subsequently improving productivity.
