Government employees in a Malaysian state are being monitored by security cameras to keep them from slacking off at work or vanishing for long tea breaks, a news report said Monday.
Sixteen closed-circuit television cameras were installed recently to improve security in northeastern Terengganu state’s main government administrative complex, but they serve an additional purpose of keeping tabs on some 1,000 workers there, Terengganu State Secretary Mokhtar Nong told The Star 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,” Mokhtar said, adding that another 26 cameras will be set up soon.
Mokhtar’s aide said he was busy with meetings Monday and could not be disturbed. Other officials could not comment on the report.
