‘MySpike development shows quality of civil servants’
PUTRAJAYA: The expertise of the Human Resources Ministry in developing the Malaysia Skills Integration Management System (MySpike) reflects the efficiency in its service delivery, says Steven Sim.

The Human Resources Minister, in his speech at the ministry’s monthly assembly here, said the workforce is its most valuable asset.

“People used to think that civil servants cannot develop any system on their own.

“So, we (the government) have to appoint contractors.

“In reality, civil servants are implementers, thinkers, and strategic planners. We have these abilities within the civil service.

“We should give them the opportunity,” he said.

Sim added that the expertise of ministry’s personnel had saved the government RM8mil in expenditure, Bernama reported.MySpike is a single platform used in the programme accreditation, personnel certification, student registration, assessment verification, and overall certification for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) agencies adopting the Malaysian Skills Certificate System.

To enhance the performance of the ministry, Sim also encouraged its personnel to apply the philosophy of “Ren” and “Li”, which are principles rooted in Chinese society, in carrying out their daily tasks.

Quoting the Confucian concept and teaching to improve morality and uphold human ethics, he said “Ren” means love and humanity, while “Li” refers to rituals or propriety.

At the assembly yesterday, he also welcomed the newly appointed secretary-general Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud, who joined the ministry on Jan 23.

“Welcome aboard! I was told that despite him being a new appointee, the new secretary- general has been going to the ground (to meet with the staff). I appreciate his dedication,” Sim added.
