A call to civil servants: Chronicle your journeys

MALAYSIA’S civil service has long been the nation’s backbone, quietly carrying out policies, steering reforms, and holding firm during crises. Yet too many of its stories remain untold.

For decades, the Administrative and Diplomatic Service has been the intellectual engine of governance, producing leaders who navigated reforms and made decisions that shaped the country’s trajectory. A few, like Tan Sri Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid, Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan, Tan Sri Samsudin Osman, and Tan Sri Ali Hamsa, documented their journeys in books.
