Servants shouldn't play golf

If South Korea's bureaucrats are playing golf, chances are they are not working hard enough, President Lee Myung-bak's spokesman quoted him as saying on yesterday.

Lee, a former construction boss, is a widely known workaholic who has started work at 7:30 am every day since his landslide victory on December 19 election.

Bureaucrats in his government, which was launched just two weeks ago, have been showing signs of burnout.
