Sabah Allocates RM10 Million To Enhance Skills

KOTA KINABALU, Feb 9 (Bernama) -- The Sabah state government has allocated RM10 million to develop human resources at all levels of its ministries, departments and agencies this year, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman.

He said the state government understood the importance of enhancing skills of its public servants to ensure good governance.

"The public sector is a very important institution to ensure administration and governance. Without that institution, a government will lose its ability to administer and implement plans efficiently and effectively. So we allocate this money to enhance skills of state employees," Musa said at a function to commemorate the Sabah state-level Public Services Day at the Tun Raffae Auditorium at Menara Tun Mustapha, here today.

Musa also called on senior state and Federal public servants to ensure that the quality of services and the public delivery system in Sabah was at a high standard.

He urged state employees to elevate the service performance as well as help to ensure the success of the state's development agenda including the Sabah Development Corridor.

The Sabah Information Department was picked as the winner of the Public Information Centre Award for this year's Sabah Public Services Day.
