They want them to be easy to find out about, simple to use and responsive to their needs. They want them to deal with their requirements, preferably in one go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the real world, the civil service is made up of dedicated and highly skilled civil servants committed to delivering for the nation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Civil servants are not faceless bureaucrats, but real people striving every day to serve the government and the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Civil servants are operating in an exceptionally challenging environment of diminishing resources, radical change, and pay levels that have fallen dramatically behind the market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The world is changing. And it\u2019s changing in ways that, as a Civil Service, we can\u2019t afford to ignore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pretending change isn\u2019t happening is not an option. Keeping pace with it is a necessity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A professional and skilled civil service is a basic building block for governmental efficiency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A professional and efficient public administration implies competent, motivated and neutral civil servants working in a system dedicated to serving the public interest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The concept of a neutral civil service based on merit needs to be clarified. It implies the existence of a corps of officials recruited and promoted on the basis of their professional qualifications and serving the public interest, as it is defined by law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our civil service needs to be changing where they must, adding strength where they are already strong and getting on with the job of making Malaysia a truly great nation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A world-class civil service is critical for delivering world-class public services and efficient, effective government. It forms the foundation of making government work, turning policy into reality and changing people&#8217;s lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div style='text-align:center' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><!--Yasr Visitor Votes Shortcode--><div id='yasr_visitor_votes_0189a366aeb9b' class='yasr-visitor-votes'><div class=\"yasr-custom-text-vv-before yasr-custom-text-vv-before-2266\">Click to rate this post!<\/div><div id='yasr-vv-second-row-container-0189a366aeb9b'\r\n                                        class='yasr-vv-second-row-container'><div id='yasr-visitor-votes-rater-0189a366aeb9b'\r\n                                      class='yasr-rater-stars-vv'\r\n                                      data-rater-postid='2266'\r\n                                      data-rating='0'\r\n                                      data-rater-starsize='16'\r\n                                      data-rater-readonly='true'\r\n                                      data-rater-nonce='62fb1faefc'\r\n                                      data-issingular='false'\r\n                                    ><\/div><div class=\"yasr-vv-stats-text-container\" id=\"yasr-vv-stats-text-container-0189a366aeb9b\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"\r\n                                   class=\"yasr-dashicons-visitor-stats\"\r\n                                   data-postid=\"2266\"\r\n                                   id=\"yasr-stats-dashicon-0189a366aeb9b\">\r\n                                   <path d=\"M18 18v-16h-4v16h4zM12 18v-11h-4v11h4zM6 18v-8h-4v8h4z\"><\/path>\r\n                               <\/svg><span id=\"yasr-vv-text-container-0189a366aeb9b\" class=\"yasr-vv-text-container\">[Total: <span id=\"yasr-vv-votes-number-container-0189a366aeb9b\">0<\/span>  Average: <span id=\"yasr-vv-average-container-0189a366aeb9b\">0<\/span>]<\/span><\/div><div id='yasr-vv-loader-0189a366aeb9b' class='yasr-vv-container-loader'><\/div><\/div><div id='yasr-vv-bottom-container-0189a366aeb9b' class='yasr-vv-bottom-container'><div class='yasr-small-block-bold'><span class='yasr-visitor-votes-must-sign-in'>You must sign in to vote<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--End Yasr Visitor Votes Shortcode--><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All too often, the debate about modernising the civil service is framed within negative headlines.
