In a message shared on his official Facebook page, Sultan Ibrahim described civil servants as the backbone of the nation’s administration, playing a pivotal role in ensuring that government policies and programmes are implemented effectively.
He added that the importance of cultivating a work culture grounded in honesty, transparency, and efficiency, while firmly rejecting any form of abuse of power, corruption, or misappropriation that could undermine public confidence in government institutions.

During the meeting, Sultan Ibrahim also received a briefing on current issues affecting the civil service, including initiatives to strengthen governance and institutional accountability.

By urging civil servants to embrace ethical conduct and steadfast accountability, Sultan Ibrahim reinforces the message that responsible governance and principled public service remain essential to maintaining national stability, trust, and effective administration. - January 8, 2025
