Is interstate travel for Pahang civil servants truly restricted?

Question

Accepted Answer

Pahang Civil Servants' Interstate Travel Not Restricted

The Pahang government has not imposed any restrictions on interstate travel for its civil servants. This clarification comes in response to a viral WhatsApp message that falsely claimed such a ban was in effect. State Secretary Datuk Seri Dr Sallehuddin Ishak confirmed that no directive regarding interstate travel restrictions for civil servants was issued at any committee meeting.
Refutation of Viral Message
A widely circulated WhatsApp message alleged that Pahang civil servants were prohibited from interstate travel, including for official purposes like attending courses and meetings. The message suggested that these activities should be conducted online instead and indicated the ban was effective immediately. However, Datuk Seri Dr Sallehuddin Ishak explicitly refuted these claims, stating that the viral message contained misinformation.
No Official Directive Issued
There has been no official directive or decision made by the Pahang government concerning interstate travel restrictions for its civil servants. The state secretary clarified that the matter has not been decided upon by the state government. Therefore, any claims suggesting an immediate or impending ban are unsubstantiated.
Absence of Decision at Committee Meeting
The viral message also purported that the restriction was decided upon at a Pahang Task Force committee meeting. Datuk Seri Dr Sallehuddin Ishak refuted this, confirming that no such directive was issued during any committee meeting. The state government is still in the process of considering and deciding on the issue of interstate travel for its civil servants.
