Earlier this weekend, the 11th Civil Service Conference was held in INTAN Mont Kiara. I was invited to attend the 2-day conference, officiated by Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak, Deputy Prime Minister.

As a young officer, I accepted the offer with much delight as this was a chance for me to see top guns of civil servants in action, discussing on matters relating to Human Capital. I wanted to hear how they address the public's critics on bureaucracy and service delivery efficiency. I am sure as citizens of Malaysia, we've heard enough critism on the government's way of dealing with things, from IC MyKad, scholarships, unemployment, bribery, and many other things .

The conference brought speakers not only within the government top officials, but also ministers, CEOs from private companies, and international speakers. It was hoped that discussions between the different organisations and parts of the world would resolve issues pertaining to this matter and a comprehensive solution that drives human capital as the way forward for the public sector would be achieved.

As the first conference I have ever attended, and an international one at that too (there were delegates from India, Indonesia, Bahrain, Singapore, Brunei and some other I fail to remember), I find the 2-day event fruitful, and would certainly help improve the understanding of achieving the right result from the Human Capital Development plan brought forward by the present Prime Minister of Malaysia. I just hope that they don't just talk and let the discussed issues tenggelam dalam papers and simpan dalam fail je, but to actually provide reports and do deal with it.

Great information but need some spelling correction as follow:

1. "...critism..." (Para 2, last line), it should be "...criticism..."
2. "...help improve..." (para 4, line 3), it should be "...help to improve..."
3. Stick to English or Malay (choose one only).
