KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 — The Economy Ministry will ensure Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s noble desire to reform the public service is translated in ministries and their agencies.
The ministry in a statement today said civil servants are always ready to shift the paradigm in terms of behaviour and thinking to improve the country’s competitiveness.
In a statement, the Economy Ministry welcomed Anwar’s statement during the 19th Public Service Prime Minister’s Council meeting on August 16.
“The desire of the prime minister who wants the reform of the public service to proceed with special emphasis on the productivity and efficiency aspects of the service is very welcome.
“The Malaysian government is committed to reforming the public service,” said the statement.
The prime minister in his address said the Public Service Remuneration System, which will replace the Malaysian Remuneration System on December 1, reflects the spirit of the civil service reform that must be implemented to make the Malaysia Madani agenda a success.
He said three efforts to make the reform successful are increasing the productivity and efficiency of the public service, improving the readiness of civil servants in implementing change; and raising the country’s competitiveness.
