Civil servants who participate in the anti-Goods and Services Tax (GST) protest will be considered as traitors who are unfit to hold government positions.
Congress of Union of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) president Azih Muda also said that action would be taken against them.
He said civil servants who took part in the rally would be breaching the Akujanji (loyalty pledge) and Ikrar Perkhidmatan (code of conduct).
"Prior to this, I have already mentioned that civil servants cannot take part in rallies that go against the government because of the Akujanji and Ikrar Perkhidmatan... So whether they like it or not, they must abide.
"If they are dissatisfied and wish to partake in the rally, they can leave the civil service," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.
Azih also said that those who face action should not cry foul since they were warned beforehand about the consequences.
"The prime minister is always open to Cuepacs to hear the problems of those in the public service... So there is no need to participate in such rallies," he added.
Meanwhile, Road Transport Department (RTD) staff were also warned not to participate in the rally.
"If any staff member is found involved in the illegal rally, stern action will be taken ...," the RTD said in its official Facebook posting at 8.10pm last night.
It also cited the civil service code of conduct.
Despite the RTD's assertions, the rally is not illegal as it is allowed by police under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.
The hundreds of comments on the post mostly comprise of those lambasting RTD for being an apple polisher.
"The more you issue those warnings, the more RTD staff will join the rally," one Facebook user said.
Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak announced in his 2014 budget speech last October that GST would take effect in April 2015.
It has sparked concerns that prices of goods will soar and add to the burden of the average Malaysian household.
