PETALING JAYA: The government is identifying weaknesses within the country’s administration to ensure that civil servants can carry out their duties more efficiently, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said that he constantly monitors administrative shortcomings and finds that the public service in the country is still not fully satisfactory.
“The newly appointed Chief Secretary to the Government can apply strong pressure... I am personally monitoring the situation,” he said in his speech during the opening of the 78th Annual General Meeting of the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) here today.
The Prime Minister said that the monitoring includes hospitals, schools, and matters related to registration applications and licences from local authorities.
