About 20 percent of government staff in one Malaysian state use the Internet for personal activities including downloading pornography, music and games, the national news agency reported Tuesday.

This was one of the main causes of poor work performance in Johor state, Bernama said quoting a top state official, Norsiah Harun, adding that large file downloads also considerably slowed the state government's computer system.
Norsiah said the government viewed the matter seriously and would enforce the relevant regulations soon. She reminded all department heads to be firm in tackling the problem and to remind their staff of their responsibilities, Bernama said.
"Government staff are also reminded not to take too long during morning and afternoon breaks," she said.
Nope - it must be that dat-burned Free Republic!
(Solitaire anyone?)
Are they not working because of the net, or are they on the net because they have nothing to do?
I have no comment on this story.
Two... It's in Malaysia...
Three.. It's the Malaysian Government...
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
What did they expect?
What net?
I ain't been on no net..!!!
As work intrudes more and more into our personal life, work can expect the personal life to spill over.
I just used "DEATHCULTURE" as a keyword for my first time in 2006.
It's not that I disagree that such a culture exists...
Freepers (as usual) have picked the phrase up and are flinging it around like a shiny new toy.
Personally, my work productivity goes through the roof the week after a Packers loss. I avoid the Internet like the plaque, don't want to read anything about it.
And yes, that means I was uncommonly productive this season....
Malaysian DMV bump.
Anything that keeps them from obsessing over "Bird Flu" can't be all bad.
Surely, blame falls at the feet of that timeless culprit, Miss Management.
Wait, did I just suggest that the "Culture of Death" can't be all bad?
i'm at work right now...ha, ha, ha
