LETTERS: We should be thankful as 1.6 million civil servants continue to ensure the country's administration is not affected eventhough there is some disruption in delivering the services during operations due to the pandemic and other factors.
We must have faith that the current civil servants will stay true to their oath to be loyal and dutiful in performing their assigned tasks, ensuring delivery of services to the people will always be on track.
This is crucial to maintain the trust of the public towards the existing country's governance.
We trust that they not only can administer the changes beyond the new norm implementation but also adapt rapidly to the current needs of the people.
Our civil servants have been exemplary in the efforts to curb Covid-19. As an indication, our achievement has been applauded by other countries previously while currently we are praised for our rate of vaccination.
But, due to some political situation and the rise in cases, we are facing new challenges including the issues of adhering to the standard operating procedures (SOP).
However, we need to have faith that the number of active cases will gradually decrease with time together with strict adherence of the SOP by all. A good thing is the general population continues to trust civil servants to implement policies for the well-being of the country.
Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, recently called on all civil servants to be resilient in performing their duties and responsibilities by providing services to the people as per usual.
Public service is one of the backbone of Malaysia's administrative system. This is proven when civil servants continue to do their utmost to ensure the administration runs as usual even when transition of power has changed hands a couple times.
The people and the nation continue to have high hopes for the civil servants to stay focused in fulfilling their responsibilities. It is hoped that they will continue to strive for the wellbeing of all Malaysians.
