The ministry in a statement today said civil servants are always ready to make changes, paradigm shifts in terms of behaviour and thinking so that the country’s competitiveness can be improved.

According to the statement, the Ministry of Economy welcomed Anwar’s statement during the 19th Public Service Prime Minister’s Council (MAPPA) meeting on Aug 16.

of the Civil Service Reform that needs to be implemented to make the Malaysia MADANI agenda a success.
