LISCS became the integrated training centre for Sarawak civil servants

KUCHING, 17 Oct: The Sarawak Public Service Leadership Institute (LISCS) developed at a cost of about RM200 million through the Sarawak Foundation will be a hub for training and development of state civil servants' competencies.

Sarawak Government Secretary, Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar Marzuki said the new campus provides integrated facilities to support implementation of training and professional development programs among public service members.

According to him, the pre-launching ceremony of the campus was held in order to give department heads an opportunity to see for themselves what facilities are available before being utilized for civil servant training.

"The launch was held briefly to give the department heads an opportunity to see for themselves the facilities provided at the institute, which will be utilised for training and human resource development purposes among civil servants", he said at the LISCS New Campus Pre-Launch Council here today.

The campus is equipped with various facilities including dormitories, lecture rooms and auditoriums to provide a conducive environment for training and professional development.

The existence of LISCS is expected to enable multiple competency development programmes to be implemented in an integrated manner under one institution, thus helping civil servants improve their knowledge and skills in the performance of tasks.

The initiative also supports efforts to strengthen state public service professionalism and enhance capacity of service delivery to the people.

LISCS is aimed to be among the milestones in Sarawak's human resource development in addressing current public service needs and challenges. -TVS
