Civil servants, especially those in top management, should stop playing golf overseas, said Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Dzulkifli Ahmad.

"I want to advise civil servants to stop such activities and that there is no need to go overseas to play golf, especially in Indonesia and Thailand.

"They are not professionals golfers and there is no need for them to go overseas simply to play golf," he said in an interview with Utusan Malaysia published today.
