Criticising MINIster - Boleh Tak Boleh

The verbal war between the Entrepreneur Development MINIster Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.and ACA Enforcement Director Datuk Nordin Ismail has taken a new twist. The MINIster reportedly said yesterday that there is a paragraph in the General Orders which states that a public officer cannot criticise MINIsters. Datuk Seri MINIster, Sir, can you please show us this paragraph. Oh yes, the Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Samsudin Osman, the KSU, said Monday :: "As far as I know, there is none." So may be you need not look too hard, Datuk Seri MINIster, Sir.
The KSU also had these to say :: "However, it is not the practice among government officers to criticise ministers as they were the administrators" and "It was out of place for civil servants to criticise MINIsters as they (MINIsters) have to abide by their own code of ethics and were only answerable to the Prime Minister." This is where you are wrong, Tan Sri KSU, for the MINIsters and even the PM are ultimately answerable to the people, right people? Now we seem to have it right and proper. Also for the info of the MINIster and KSU, most days the people while having their cuppa in the warungs, kopitiams, Starbucks...guess what they are also doing while seeping...they are engaging in their favourite past-time :: MINIster bashing and critisising.
Oh yes, Tan Sri KSU, as you have brought it up; could we, please have, a copy of this code of ethics for the MINIsters in order that we can know when the MINIsters run foul of the "code". And while you are at it, would you like to consider a code of ethics for the people too, on how to relate to MINIsters and not engage in those activities in the warungs, kopitiams and Starbucks. Thank you.
The Entrepreneur Development MINIster reportedly also said that he would raise in the Cabinet the provision that barred civil servants from criticising MINIsters. He said the provision was in force during the administration of the late Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, Malaysia's second Prime Minister. Now that would be rather difficult for the people to check on.
