(Bernama) - Cuepacs yesterday demanded that Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) member Derek Fernandez make a public apology for allegedly using the word ‘monkeys” on civil servants.
Cuepacs president Datuk Omar Osman said Cuepacs regretted that such a word was used in referring to civil servants and viewed the matter seriously.
“If it is true that he had made the remarks…we want him to apologise to all civil servants and also make a correction of his statement.
“Is he does not, Cuepacs will call an emergency meeting and organise a picket in front of the office where he works…we regret this because there has never been a case of a councillor branding civil servants as monkeys,” he told a press conference at the Information, Communications and Culture Ministry’s integrated complex in Kepayan near here yesterday.
Omar said this in commenting on the statement made by Fernandez regarding the replacement for MPPJ mayor Datuk Mohamad Roslan Sakiman ,who has been promoted, by the Public Service Department (PSD).
Fernandez was quoted as saying by The Malay Mail on Monday “let’s see who the candidates are. If they (PSD) are going to nominate some monkeys, we will reject”.
