PETALING JAYA – The government needs civil servants who are professional, honest, trustworthy, and efficient to carry out the duties and policies that need to be implemented effectively.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said civil servants need to work with government leadership to bring about change that can return the country to its glory days.

“I urge all administrative and diplomatic officers (PTD) who are still in service to inculcate the culture of a clean, efficient and trustworthy administration as well as assist the government to formulate and maintain the public policies portfolios effectively.

“The government need civil servants who can be a catalyst for change, be competent in the process of knowledge creation that leads to incremental and radical innovation. Aspects of accountability, transparency, integrity and responsibility must be the basis when carrying out their duties,” he said after attending a PTD dinner, here last night.
