PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has rightly advised the Administrative and Diplomatic Service (PTD) last Wednesday to promote civil servants to their top leadership roles as secretaries-general and directors-general, much earlier.

He explained that his proposal is to ensure that once these officers are promoted to those very important apex posts, they should be able to better advise the Prime Minister and his ministers, if they served them for a longer period.
