IN the interest of transparency, the Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cupeacs) wants the special committee’s findings of investigations into the death of fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim be made public.

President Adnan Mat in a statement today said Cuepacs has high hopes for justice to be served to ensure no recurrence of similar cases in the future, especially to civil servants who prioritise the interests of the people and nation in fulfilling their duties.

“Cuepacs also hopes this issue will not be continually used by certain parties to play up racial sentiments to gain political mileage. The focus here should be to track down the offenders, to pursue justice and give the assurance that no civil servant will have to face such incidents again,” he said.

Adnan added that Cuepacs welcomed the government’s decision to establish a special committee to ensure a thorough, transparent investigation in seeking justice over Adib’s death.

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob today announced that a special team would be set up to ensure a comprehensive and transparent investigation is conducted into the death of the fireman.

The prime minister said the team would be given six months to come up with its findings and recommendations to be presented to the cabinet, which would then decide on the follow-up action. – Bernama, October 9, 2021.
