By Husin Ismail

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Royal Brunei Services Forces will review its current skills and career management system in a bid to enhance its professionalism and expertise.

Colonel Pg Haji Azmansham bin Pg Haji Mohammad, the Commandant of the Services Forces, yesterday said although the organisation had done well since its inception 15 years ago, there was no room for complacency.

As such, the special forces' career guidelines and technical skills rules for its officers and specialist personnel would be revised and streamlined, he said in his speech at the special forces' 15th anniversary.

He also announced that the "Quality Management System" would be introduced in stages to all units including administrative, recruitment and logistics.

He said the changes were made after careful consideration; following his takeover as commandant in June last year.

"Ever since I took over as commandant, I have identified many things that can be improved to enhance our capability and competency, so that we can maintain our professionalism and confidence in meeting the challenges around us," he said.

Colonel Pg Haji Azmansham said the new quality management system would ensure proper recording and auditing of "every single action".

"Full commitment by all personnel is necessary so that the Support Services will be able to provide a consistently high standard of service.

"We also need to be open minded towards changes so that we are ready for any new defence procedures which may be introduced in the future," urged the Commandant.

He then stressed that all heads of departments should strive to improvise the means by which they supervise their personnel and execute their responsibilities.

The Commandant, in his speech, also thanked all members for their contributions, which have helped develop the support service team.

"Our members' involvement in providing relief help for the victims of the Aceh tsunami disaster and the recent earthquake in Yogyakarta, and in the Aceh monitoring mission, as well as our International Monitoring Team in Mindanao, and soon in Lebanon, are stepping stones to our development," Colonel Pg Haji Azmansham said.

Earlier, the Commandant inspected the passing-out parade of 800 male and female uniformed personnel led by Major Haslen bin Hj Hassan.

The celebration was held at the Parade Square A, Bolkiah Garrison, to commemorate the establishment of the Support Services on October 1, 1991. -- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
