Call for new work order for public servants

(The Star) PUTRAJAYA: Public servants have been told to carry out their duties speedily and accurately and live up to the high expectations of the people.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, in issuing the directive, said they should set a timeline, identify priorities, make decisions and use time productively.

He said they should also improve the way they work, co-ordinate roles, activate all programmes that had been drawn up and use funds effectively.

“It’s important to determine our priorities. The prime minister has outlined many things including economic development, education, and social development that had been stipulated in the development plan that we wish to implement.

“All these are important to us but how they are to be carried out depends on our ability to understand our roles and responsibilities,“ Muhyiddin said during the Prime Minister’s Department monthly gathering yesterday.

He said the slogan “People First” from the 1Malaysia concept was not mere rhetoric, but the Government’s emphasis on carrying out its duties effectively.
