Civil Servants Urged To Polish Their Act
By Azlan Othman

Bandar Seri Begawan - Imams on Friday cautioned civil servants not to waste precious time and resources by playing truant.

The religious leaders urged them to maintain ethics in government departments and fulfill their obligations in a responsible way.

In a sermon in conjunction with Civil Services Day today, the religious leaders admonished the public servants not to `escape' from their office during working hours as it could very well jeopardise the workflow of the government machinery and its efforts to look after public welfare.

Imams also called on the civil servants not to use their position in the government to secure jobs for their kin, ignoring other suitable applicants. This would be solely looking after one's interests, the religious leaders cautioned.

The civil servants were also called to nurture good ethics while performing their duties in serving the nation and the public.

Only by practising such ethics could make a person more disciplined, efficient, loyal and be trustworthy to perform their duties.

Imams also urged civil servants to be courteous and patient as only through being so would they have the strength of heart or feeling to face any pressures or difficulties. In this situation, they will not be in great haste in making decisions or feel angry, impolite or impatient.

A person who is patient in his work is peaceful enough when facing problems and not hot-tempered when criticised or furious, but forgiving. Being courteous will make one gentle. Courteous, observant and helpful are qualities needed in every department of every organisation. In this context, the public or customer is also urged to possess similar qualities like patience and courtesy.

The 13th- Civil Service Day Celebration will take place at the International Convention Centre in Berakas with the highlight of the event being the presentations of the Civil Service Excellent Awards and Retirement Certificates and the reading of the Civil Service Pledge.

This year seven teams have taken part in the Civil Service Excellent Awards in the Financial and Service Delivery Category. Meanwhile a number of activities have been arranged and most comprise sports activities to be held throughout the year. There is also Tahlil activity planned at the Royal Mausoleum. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
