Successful civil service applicants will be required to undergo a drug test before their official appointments, the Ministry of Personnel Management said Tuesday.
The Cabinet approved a revision of related regulations Tuesday to add a drug test to the physical examination required of those who pass exams for general civil service and foreign service positions, according to the ministry.
The pre-appointment drug test is already in place for police and firefighter positions.
Six kinds of narcotics, including methamphetamine, cannabis, opium and cocaine, will be screened in the physical examination and only those who are cleared in the drug test can be appointed as civil servants.
