KUCHING: Public servants, particularly those in the Padawan District Education Office (PPD), have been urged to continue serving with dedication and excellence.
Deputy Minister of Transport Datuk Dr Jerip Susil said this is because the primary role of public service is in advancing the country’s development.
“As public servants, it is both our duty and responsibility to provide the best possible service to our fellow citizens.
“The contributions of public servants are paramount in propelling Sarawak towards its goal of becoming a developed state by 2030,” he said at the Malaysia Association of Head Teachers Padawan branch’s Excellence Service Award 2022 ceremony, here Friday evening (Sept 22).
He also urged PPD Padawan staff to deliver their utmost effective, honest, and progressive service to help achieve this aspiration.
“This is because, individually we are just one drop, but together we are the ocean,” he said.
Dr Jerip also stressed the importance of public servants being equipped with the ability to make swift and effective decisions.
“I trust the recognition bestowed upon you today will serve as a source of motivation to excel in the years to come.
“Furthermore, I’m pleased to announce that PPD Padawan will receive RM50,000 next year,” he said.
The event honoured 222 people with the 2022 Excellence Service Award under PPD Padawan.
Among the guests in attendance was Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap.
