Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today appeared puzzled by the attitude of several Muslim civil servants, who he claims believe that bribery is "less sinful than consuming alcoholic drinks."
Speaking at a meeting with civil servants in Putrajaya, he pointed out that they appeared to be more religious than those who served during the British colonial era.
"The civil servants during the British era were hardly involved in corruption, and they behaved like the British officers. They adapted to the Western lifestyle, including consuming alcoholic drinks.
"But now, the officers are religious. They have a mark on their foreheads because they pray a lot. They pray, fast and perform the pilgrimage," he said.
