KUALA LUMPUR : Civil servants in the Malaysian state of Terengganu can no longer slacken off on the job after the government installed closed-circuit cameras which monitor them at work, a report said Monday.

Terengganu state secretary Mokhtar Nong said 1,000 civil servants were being watched without their knowledge after the cameras were set up in the state's administration building, the Star daily reported.

The cameras were installed for security purposes but have also proved handy for keeping an eye on workers, he said.

"The cameras ... were initially installed to increase security but have doubled up as a mechanism to closely monitor the workers," Mokhtar told the newspaper.

"We would know if they are adhering to office etiquette or playing truant and we can also gauge if they are disciplined at work," he said.

Images from the cameras can be accessed by Mokhtar as well as Terengganu's chief minister, Idris Jusoh.

The newspaper said the cameras provided a way to monitor the workers, who are accused of taking long breaks away from their desks.

Last month, Mokhtar announced that thousands of civil servants were barred from leaving their offices for tea breaks after spending far too long at restaurants and snack stalls during working hours.

State officials defended the move to install the cameras, arguing they would improve efficiency and behaviour among civil servants.

"Look on the bright side, there will be no more kaki bodeks (sycophants) as the bosses will know who are actually working and those who don't," Abdul Mudin Ismail, an officer with a state youth and sports committee, was quoted as saying.

some might be acting there? some ppl might be pretend very busy hardworking but actually they doing nothing lol>

to fall in love is always easy
to start a relationship is always simple
to build it, is always tough
to maintain it, is 'better said than done'
to break off, is 'easier said than done'
to remain friends after u broke off, is never possible
to forget the memories is 'always doing but never succeeding'
to heal the pain within is hard and tough and never near simple
but one has to try to heal your own heart...
