Empowerment comes with
Responsibility in Civil Service
(Excerpt of speech of Chief Minister, YAB Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud
during the Civil Service Day gathering in Bintulu on August 15, 2006)
navoidably, empowerment will become a prominent feature of
the civil service in future. However, power requires a stronger
sense of responsibility so that the people can stand on their
own feet. They must be guided by the discipline as they have
to assume
U greater responsibility in carrying out their jobs in the services of
the people, state and country. As we build the administrative system, based
on the development administration, and as we gear to work closely with the
private sector, we must be prepared to have more power and assume greater
responsibility in carrying out our jobs.
As heads of departments get more power, they must also think of the days
when the divisional subordinates will have to exercise more autonomy and
greater initiatives. These are the complicated evolutions of the machinery of
the government and the delivery system by which we can serve the people.
However, we must boost up the power of the civil service in order to hasten the
pace of development towards the year 2020 and beyond.
