The civil service is capable but there is still room for improvement, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
As such, complacency should be avoided, he told a gathering of more than 1,000 top civil servants from all ministries and government departments at Puspanitapuri Dewan de Seri Endon in Putrajaya on Friday (Jan 3), the first gathering of its kind this year.

00:00It is clear from the history.
00:05Every celebration and welcome we do,
00:09is not only to celebrate our success,
00:14but always,
00:16this community and the country must be dynamic.
00:19We must try to reach a better and more prosperous level.
00:26We must not only be praised for having recorded it,
00:31we must acknowledge it,
00:33because it is a sign of gratitude.
00:35But the gratitude and appreciation of Allah
00:37does not mean that we should feel comfortable.
00:40When Salahuddin Al-Ayubi was welcomed
00:45on the birthday of Prophet Muhammad SAW,
00:49it was meant to raise the spirit
00:53and increase the determination of the people
00:58under his leadership
01:01to fight with all their might.
01:04There will be no change in this country
01:07as a great country
01:08if there is no spirit and determination.
01:10Therefore, the responsibility of the minister,
01:14the KSU, and the director-general
01:16should be more than just continuing the work as usual.
01:23We must look for new rules.
01:25Because it means that we are not only complacent.
01:32The so-called comfortable culture,
01:35culture of contentment,
01:37is already good.
01:39It is really good.
01:41What to consider?
01:43Compared to whom?
01:45When?
01:46Which country?
01:47And can that goodness
01:49boost our strength
01:51as a great country?
01:53Therefore,
01:55while we are grateful to Allah SWT,
01:58there must be a pressure
02:01on all leaders
02:03that a better service is still expected.
02:07If the KSN said,
02:09from waiting for months to get a degree,
02:13we now get a record in a few weeks,
02:18then the next goal is to reduce
02:22from a few weeks to a week.
02:25Is this possible?
02:27I believe it is possible.
02:29This is the challenge for us.
02:33Do our people need to get lessons?
02:37To renew the lessons,
02:38do we have to arrange hours and take one day off?
02:41Or can this be done through
02:44the so-called digital transformation process?
02:49Or do we need to be there in a short time
02:53with a fixed schedule
02:57so that they can come
02:59and get an appointment and do their job?
03:02While we press the question of governance,
03:06which I consider to be a success.
03:08People talk a lot about long-term cases.
03:11I want to say,
03:12in the past two years,
03:13I am grateful to Allah SWT
03:15because we have carried out a transparent tender process
03:19and there is no big scandal
03:22that has ever been revealed in the past two years.
03:28And for me, this is a bigger success.
03:32We have an effort
03:33and cannot solve all problems.
03:36This country is a country of law.
03:39And we have to make decisions
03:41based on good governance.
03:46And this tender presses the question of value.
03:51So let's not get carried away
03:55with other discussions.
03:57I want civil servants
03:59to have a determination
04:02that our task is to promote
04:06the economy and performance of our country,
04:09our speech,
04:11our seriousness.
04:13And believe me,
04:15give one or two years
04:17if the spirit is like this,
04:19the recognition is like this,
04:21and our unity of spirit.
04:24I believe we will witness
04:28Malaysia as a great country this year.
04:30I am sure.
04:35When I say people,
04:37don't forget that there are still people on the edge,
04:41there are still poor people,
04:43there are still people on the side.
04:46And believe me,
04:48they don't have to give us comfort and peace
04:52as long as there are people on the side.
04:56That's why sometimes I feel
04:59weak with discussions
05:01on the issue of people and religion.
05:05People who take care of the region or the country,
05:09they don't care who rules.
05:13Which people are on the side.
05:16Our responsibility is
05:19to appreciate every citizen
05:22who is there
05:24as our responsibility.
05:26And skin color doesn't affect us.
05:29If he is in the poor category,
05:33he must be handled.
05:35If he needs recognition,
05:37he is given recognition.
05:39And this doesn't change or reject the fact
05:43that our pride and the foundation of our country
05:46is still rooted in the principle
05:51of language, religion,
05:53the rights of all Malay women and boys.
05:56In some special programs that we hold,
05:59but in assessing the need to help,
06:04there is no consideration.
06:06Skin color, the region,
06:10everyone must be helped,
06:14especially those who are less fortunate.
