KUALA LUMPUR: Apart from the announcement regarding the Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA) this Friday for civil servants, the Prime Minister will also outline key government policies, says the National Institute of Public Administration (Intan).
Its senior deputy director (Competence Development) Datuk Dr Haniff Zainal Abidin said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim would make the important announcements at the 19th Majlis Amanat Perdana Perkhidmatan Awam (Mappa) scheduled to be held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC).
“This Mappa is highly anticipated, especially as it promises important updates on the SSPA and the principles that civil servants will need to adhere to,” he said on Bernama TV’s Apa Khabar Malaysia programme yesterday.
Haniff said the 19th Mappa serves as a platform for the Prime Minister to outline key government policies, marking the first significant update since the last meeting in 2022.
“We expect around 7,000 civil servants to attend and hear the Prime Minister’s address firsthand. For those unable to attend, the announcement will be available via live broadcast on various platforms, including social media,” he added.
Haniff said that 32 ministry and agency offices will be opened at Mappa – themed Madani Civil Service – to provide services to both civil servants and the public.
“The largest booth will be hosted by the Public Service Department and Intan. In addition, the Royal Malaysia Police and the Road Transport Department booths will be available to allow visitors to settle summonses at a discounted rate,” he said.
He added that parking facilities will be available around the PICC with a shuttle service provided to facilitate transport for attendees.
On Aug 6, Anwar said several preliminary details of the updated SSPA would be announced soon and a full announcement would be made when Budget 2025 is tabled in October.
Public Service Department deputy director-general (operations) Datuk Mohd Shaiful Ibrahim on Aug 5 said civil servants would be able to estimate their expected salary increase in a week.
He added that the details would be announced at Mappa.
