Civil servants must be committed, says Sultan of Pahang

KUANTAN: Civil servants should provide good services to the people and put aside their political differences, Sultan Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah said.

Sultan Ahmad Shah said as public servants, they must be committed and professional in discharging their duties to uphold the government’s aspirations.

”Bear in mind that we are there to serve the people regardless of their affiliations.

”We are also working for Allah and it is part of our ‘ibadah’,’’ he said in his speech during a dinner with government servants in Zenith Hotel here recently.

Also present were state secretary Datuk Seri Muhammad Safian Ismail, state executive councillors and other department heads.

Sultan Ahmad Shah said government servants must be “people-friendly” at all times and performed their duties diligently.

”Talk less and concentrate on completing the job as action speaks louder than words,’’ he said.

Sultan Ahmad Shah added that efforts must be made to improve the level of services and efficiency from time to time so that the civil service would be respected by the people.

”As the country is working towards a developed nation status, let’s ensure the civil service is on par and relevant,” he said.
