| Work not yet over, Ali Hamsa tells civil service retirees Posted: 10 Dec 2012 07:53 AM PST PUTRAJAYA, Dec 10 — Retired civil servants have been urged to continue their contribution to the nation through community activities or through non-governmental organisations, said Chief Secretary to the Government Datuk Seri Dr Ali Hamsa. He said civil servants who are widely experienced can also contribute through creative writing that can become reference material in their respective positions when new staff is appointed. "The experience of retired civil servants, including senior government officers cannot be replaced because what they have gone through during their long years of service cannot be seen or heard," he said in his speech during the "Majlis Khidmat Bakti Jabatan Perdana Menteri" here today. Ali said knowledgeable civil servants cannot be produced through reference from academic books but through years of experience in their respective field. During the appreciation ceremony, 43 senior government officers who retired and 16 new officers appointed were feted. Retired civil servants could also disseminate correct government policies to the people around them, he said. — Bernama |
