Sibu Rural District Council’s Awards Night 2006

Must read

In this day and
age, giving recognition towards one’s achievements at the workplace or within
society is becoming a normalcy. Nonetheless, this does not mean that the work
that was carried out in order to receive such recognition should be thought of
being an easy task to accomplish.

Recently, the
Sibu Rural District Council (SRDC) held an awards night dinner last December
2006 in lew of eleven of its staff members receiving the SRDC’s Excellence
Awards. YB Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh, Sarawak Minister of Rural Development and
Tourism and Second Minister in Finance attended the dinner and presented the
2004 and 2005 awards to the following recipients:

2004 Excellence Awards Recipients

  1. Alex Kong Sien
    Ping
  2. Shirley Tiong
    Sieng King

2005 Excellence Awards Recipients

  1. Tay Beng Joo
  2. Tiong Siik Nang
  3. Sylvia Ak Albert
    Tegap
  4. Lily Ho
  5. Rennie Haslynda

Recipients were
selected based on the Public Administration Development Circular No. 2 2003,
taking into account the criteria as listed below:

  • Recipients must
    have obtained more than 85% in the annual evaluation
  • Recipients must
    have been in service for one year on the last day of evaluation
  • Recipients must
    have contributed to the organisation whereby the quality and productivity was
    beyond their standard job description
  • Recipients must
    have been confirmed in the government service
  • Recipients must
    have received a recommendation from the head of department

The panel
of judges for the selection of recipients included the Sibu District Officer,
the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Environment and Public Health, the
SRDC’s Secretary and the SRDC’s Head of Human Resource cum Secretariat. Suffice
to say, the recipients should be viewed as role models, having a positive
influence towards motivating civil servants to carry out their jobs at a high
level of service. This is in line with YB Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh’s view that civil
servants should serve with CARE- Courtesy, Accessibility, Responsive and
Effective- so as to offer better quality services to their clients.

Apart from these
Excellence Awards, awards were also presented to the winners of the Compound
Cleanliness and Beautification Competition as well as the recipients of the
Press Appreciation Awards.

competition was divided into three categories, namely, the Longhouse Category,

    neat and tidy environment within and throughout their longhouse compound at all

    compound
  • To further

    greater degree of cooperation and understanding between the SRDC and the
