KUALA LUMPUR: The Public Service Department (PSD) has launched a Public Service Kit aimed at ensuring civil servants have a deeper understanding of the progressive government administration system.
The initiative, launched by Public Service director-general Tan Sri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz (pic), is part of the ongoing efforts to strengthen the public service reform agenda.
“It also aims to strengthen competency development to be more competitive and inclusive in supporting the public service reform agenda towards greater excellence,” the PSD said in a statement, Bernama reported.
It said the Public Service Kit is a specific guide outlined to strengthen the understanding of civil servants, especially newly appointed officers, of the country’s administrative system, starting from the appointment phase and service to the retirement phase.
According to the PSD, the kit is an important platform to accelerate the process of adapting officers to the public service ecosystem effectively and competitively.
It said four principles are arranged as the main thrust of the implementation of the kit, namely clear initial guidance; introduction to duties and responsibilities; exposure to rights and benefits; and information on administrative procedures.
“With the determination to produce competent, efficient and credible civil servants, the PSD is committed to strengthening the public sector through the preparation of comprehensive policies and regulations.
“This effort is to form human capital that is magnanimous, knowledgeable, highly skilled, has integrity and performs well to ensure that the public sector continues to be the pillar of the country’s progress and prosperity,” said the statement.
The Public Service Kit can now be accessed through the Public Service Department’s portal at https://docs.jpa.gov.my/docs/flipbook/KIT-PERKHIDMATAN-AWAM/4/ starting Tuesday.
