PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is set to make an important announcement on the public service remuneration system (SSPA) this Friday at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC).
Bernama reported that the National Institute of Public Administration (Intan) senior deputy director (Competence Development) Datuk Dr Haniff Zainal Abidin said the announcement is expected to draw considerable attention, particularly among civil servants.
"The Majlis Amanat Perdana Perkhidmatan Awam (Mappa) event, which the prime minister is attending, is highly anticipated, especially as it promises important updates on the SSPA and the principles that civil servants will need to adhere to," he said on Bernama TV's Apa Khabar Malaysia programme today.
Haniff said the 19th Mappa serves as a platform for the Prime Minister to outline key government policies, marking the first significant update since the last meeting in 2022.
He said around 7,000 civil servants are expected to attend and hear the Prime Minister's address firsthand.
"For those unable to attend in person, the announcement will be available via live broadcast on various platforms, including social media," he added.
Regarding this year's Mappa, themed "Madani Civil Service", Haniff said 32 ministries and agencies will set up booths to provide services to both civil servants and the public.
"The largest booth will be hosted by the Public Service Department and Intan. In addition, the police and the Road Transport Department booths will be available to allow visitors to settle summonses at a discounted rate," he said. – August 13, 2024.
