Constitutionally, public servants are to serve the government of the day!

So says political analyst Abdul Aziz Bari in the article 'Federal officers choose to be political tools of the BN'.

Abdul Aziz said that in Malaysia, public servants were working to save the BN government. At the same time, they were helping to undermine the Pakatan. He said this was not constitutional democracy but constitutional anarchy and pointed out that in the United Kingdom, the Labour government allowed public servants to brief Conservatives and Liberals who were trying to form government after the April elections that resulted in a hung parliament.

Abdul Aziz also said that constitutionally speaking, public servants - including members of the armed forces and police force - were there to serve the government of the day, whatever their colour and shape.
