[Article 139] Federal Constitution 129 (1a) The jurisdiction of the Public Services Commission shall extend to— (a) members of the general public service of the Federation who are employed in a federal department in the State of Sabah or Sarawak; (b) members of the public service of the State of Sabah or Sarawak who are seconded to the general public service of the Federation; and (c) members of the public service of the State of Sabah or Sarawak serving in federal posts or in any posts which have become federal posts in that State and who have exercised the option to be members of the general public service of the Federation. (2) The Legislature of any State other than Malacca and Penang may by law extend the jurisdiction of the Public Services Commission to all or any persons in the public service of that State, but no such law shall take effect earlier than twelve months from the date of its passing; and if at any time there is not, in any such State in which no such law is in force, established and exercising its functions a State Public Service Commission, the jurisdiction of the Public Services Commission shall, if federal law so provides, extend to all members of the public service of that State.
