Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the Government has always been grateful for the cooperation extended by civil servants.
“Awesome TV’s news programme Berita 757 reported that there seemed to be “observers” who have proposed that the number of civil servants be reduced.

“As such, I urge Berita 757 to explain this ridiculous idea and proposal,” he said in a Twitter post on
Meanwhile, Fahmi said the Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) is committed to helping Sabah in matters related to broadcasting and internet networks.
He said the matter was discussed with Sabah Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Arifin Mohd Arif during Mohd Arifin’s courtesy visit with the Ministry’s delegation to his office in Angkasapuri, on Wednesday.
Through a post on Facebook, Fahmi said he also shared the three main focuses of KKD that need to be achieved this year, which are the strengthening of communication infrastructure, cyber security and digital economy investment.
