KUCHING, July 11: The Ministry of Works (KKR) and Public Works Department (JKR) achieved the platinum category in the Malaysian Government Performance Index (MyGPI) 2022-2023 recently.
Its minister, Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi, expressed his pride as it showed that KKR and JKR are the only ‘ministry and department (under the same function)’ to achieve this.
“I am honoured to celebrate this success with the people of KKR and JKR at the 2023 Malaysian JKR Senior Officer Conference (SOC) in the state of Melaka,” he said in a Facebook post today.
The Kapit MP added that during his speech, he touched on how JKR should carry out its duties with integrity while noting that the construction industry needs to achieve a high level of productivity through the application of new technology and modern practices, as well as a highly-skilled workforce.
He added that JKR also needs to focus on communication by publicising the delivery of services implemented so that people get accurate information.
The other two government bodies that achieved the MyGPI Platinum category are the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Local Government Development.
“MyGPI is a new public sector performance measurement mechanism that replaces the Star Rating System (SSR).
“The MyGPI assessment programme is developed in line with global and national level aspirations that include the government’s new policies and plans,” he said. — DayakDaily
