He has now given enforcement officers one week to decide whether or not they want to go on an all-out war against graft. According to Anwar, it is unacceptable that top civil servants are still tolerating wrongdoings such as smuggling, bribing and gangsterism activities. Anwar said he gave the one-week ultimatum to enforcement officers because his patience has run thin. Anwar also said it is unacceptable for enforcement officers to take a careless and forgiving attitude towards wrongdoing. He also said he was ready to evaluate any request by enforcement officers to reduce their responsibilities.
