A TOTAL of 136 acres in Papar have been allocated under the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) 1.0 Development Plan (2021-2025) for the development of civil service housing.
Saying this when addressing the State Civil Service Assembly, Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Hajiji Haji Noor said is fully committed to supporting any initiative aimed at transforming and strengthening the state or federal civil service.
“Among the priorities are bolstering integrity and professionalism among civil servants, enhancing the government delivery system, encouraging a productive work culture, innovation and creativity, as well as creating a strategic communication mechanism so that all government policies can be heard, seen and felt by the rakyat (people),” he said.
Among the transformation approaches being taken currently were the development of three data hubs, namely the People Hub, Business Hub and Geo Hub under the Data Integration and Interchange Platform (DIIP).
The DIIP is a data-sharing platform that facilitates Government-to-Government (G2G), Government-to-Business (G2B) and Government-to-Citizen (G2C) data sharing, which had paved the way for the creation of the Sabah Digital Marketplace to spur the growth of people-orientated businesses.
“I welcome the state public service’s commitment to put in place the Good Regulatory Practice (GRP) beginning 2021,” he said.
Hajiji was also proud that Sabah had received the Regulatory Champion Award as the Most Active State in GRP Implementation from the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) during the 2021 Good Regulatory Practice National Conference.
He also fully supported the State Public Service Department’s initiative to introduce the High Performing Organisational Happiness Index (IKOBT), a study being conducted in collaboration with researchers from Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS).
“Results from the study are crucial in formulating suitable strategies to transform the public service,” he said.
