The Prime Minister’s Department (JPM) reminded the public not to fall prey to a Facebook page registered as 'Datin Maimunah', who supposedly claimed that she can help get a job in the government service.

People who are keen to work in the public sector have to submit their applications to the Public Service Commission (PSC) only, said JPM in a statement today.

"Guidelines for filling vacancies is based on the Public Service Commission Circular No 1/ 2014 which clearly states that any admission into the civil service does not go through a third party nor impose any fees,"

The notification was made following complaints received by JPM regarding fraud being committed ‘Datin Maimunah’ on Facebook, who claimed she worked at JPM and could help to secure a government job for a fee of RM750 per person.

JPM said a police report was lodged yesterday to prevent fraud and to ensure that no individual continues to abuse the name of the department to mislead the public.

People interested to work in the public sector can apply online to the PSC by visiting its website at http://www.spa.gov.my, the statement said.

Any question or enquiry about the application can be forwarded to the PSC at 03-80056000 or to the Human Resources Management Division of the ministry, department or agency at 03-80008000.
