KUALA LUMPUR – Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil has reminded officers and staff of the Information Department against using government assets in the campaign for the upcoming state elections.

He said that he brought up the matter during a meeting with field officers of the Kelantan Information Department last night.

“Through a closed-door session such as this, they are able to voice their opinions, make suggestions, and bring up issues that require immediate attention.

“I also remind all department officers not to campaign for political parties using government machinery,” he said in a Facebook post.

Fahmi, who was on a working visit to Kelantan yesterday, said meetings with ministry or agency officials were among the items included in his itinerary every time he visits states.

The polls will involve six states, namely Selangor, Penang, Negri Sembilan, Terengganu, Kedah and Kelantan. – Bernama, June 25, 2023
