PUTRAJAYA: The signing of the "Kuala Lumpur Declaration: A Joint Committment by the Civil Service" will be a key part of the Madani government's second anniversary and the 2024 National Public Service Reform Convention, says Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar.
The Chief Secretary to the Government said that the declaration symbolises civil servants' solidarity in their shared commitment to providing efficient, transparent and effective public services at both the federal and state levels.
"I, along with all 14 State Secretaries, will sign the document as a testament to the commitment of civil servants at all levels of the federal and state services to ensure efficient, transparent and effective public service delivery," Shamsul Azri said in conjunction with the 100th day of his appointment as the 16th Chief Secretary on Nov 19.
He added that the programme aims to reinforce the agenda of public service reform and promote a spirit of collaboration among civil servants nationwide.
"This programme not only celebrates the two-year milestone of the Madani government but also serves as a platform to continue fostering unity among civil servants in realising the government’s vision," he explained.
The theme of the programme, "Madani Dihati, Rakyat Disantuni", reflects the government’s dedication to improving the public service system to better meet the needs of the people.
"Public service plays a crucial role in advancing every government agenda to achieve the nation’s vision," he said, emphasising that improvements in public service delivery significantly impact the quality of life and national development.
"We must always strive to be better and more efficient in every aspect of service we provide to the people," he urged.
To mark the second anniversary of the Madani government, the 2TM Programme and the 2024 National Public Service Reform Convention will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from Nov 22 to 24.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to officiate at the event, organised by the Prime Minister’s Office through the Performance Acceleration and Coordination Unit in collaboration with the Malaysia Productivity Corporation, at 11am on Nov 23. – Bernama
