Yoursay Nation Needs More Civil Servants Like Nor Salwani

---

YOURSAY | ‘She has set an example for all Malaysians to follow.’Audit Dept's Nor Salwani gets datukship from kingKural: Congratulations, National Audit Department director Nor Salwani Muhammad. The datukship award from the king is very deserving for the service you have rendered in the interest of the nation

Hopefully, there will be many more from the civil service in the future who would emulate your commitment to work
Dont Just Talk: Congratulations Salwani on the conferment of your datukship from the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah
You deserved the honour alone for keeping the original copy of the 1MDB audit report
Appum: Syabas to a real patriot. One must understand that at the time, Najib Abdul Razak was still her boss and the most powerful man in the country
She certainly deserves the recognition unlike the many others with titles
Boeyks: Nor Salwani went against instructions from her superior and is now rewarded with a datukship from the king
Under the previous administration, she would be considered as disloyal to her superior for not obeying their instructions. This clearly shows how badly the civil service has deteriorated under the BN administration
Anonymous_1543386425: We need more civil servants like you, Nor Salwani. You have set the example for many to follow. It is also noteworthy that your award came from the Agong, who is much loved by Malaysians
PW Cheng: Indeed, a title befitting for a noble character for a noble deed
Not like some datuks who connive, cheat, pay a few hundred thousand ringgit and even commit murder for a title
Mano: With the present civil service in tatters, we do need this kind of encouragement to spur those seeking to do the right thing in their own working environment
Nor Salwani is a shining example of what each Malaysian should be
Cheeky: I salute you, Nor Salwani, for being brave and righteous. No title is good enough for your good conscience and character
May you continue to shine and be an example to the country’s civil service and society
Pharaoh: The difference with Salwani’s datukship is that the people know why she was given the title
There are many others with titles whom no one knows what their contributions were to the country
Dummies Dhimmi: Salwani can have her datukship, but what about the hundreds who worked against the people’s interest and still walking around with titles? Those titles should be removed and not just those who are convicted but those implicated as well
Unless of course, they paid for it, in which case it will be shameful to give and even worse to receive
Cynic: This is what Malay dignity is all about - doing the right thing, not talking about it
Nor Salwani, you deserve your title and furthermore you were bestowed by Malaysia's favourite royalty. Daulat Tuanku
Miaowing: Yes, an exemplary example of dignity. No need for chest-thumping pretence at the expense of race and religion
Sarawak already ahead with teaching Maths, Science in English, says state ministerWira: Sarawak will be successful in the implementation of English in schools because of two factors
Firstly, the political landscape in Sarawak is not polluted with racism as Umno and PAS genes are absent there. Secondly, acceptance is a lot easier as English is already an official language in that state
Headhunter: Well done, Sarawak. Show the rest of the country that we are a progressive state
Note that the changeover is only RM11 million, which is peanuts when you consider that Jakim (Department of Islamic Development Malaysia) spend that amount in a matter of days
The federal government should inject more funds to Sarawak for the state to train more teachers and for the purchase of relevant materials for teachers and students
Anonymous 2018: Sarawak has shown that you care for the next generations, unlike others who prefer on the contrary for obvious reasons
In the 60s, Malays and many others spoke English and the largest sale of BritannicaEncyclopedia in the world was in Malaysia
Boeyks: Sarawak will enjoy the benefits of teaching of Science and Mathematics in English in over 20 years’ time when the present batch of students return from overseas
They will be armed with degrees from well-known universities to contribute to the state's progress and development
Iphonezours: There is too much of Malay drama on education in the peninsula without really seeing the benefits for the students in the future
To all those low-thinking people, just look at Singapore and their success. It is all due to the use of English in their system
Salvage Malaysia: If you ask me, the next prime minister must be from East Malaysia. Sabah and Sarawak still epitomise what Malaysia really is
I would like to suggest that PM is to be rotated among Peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak leaders
Only then we can break the sickening racial and religious polemics constantly played up by peninsula politicians. - Mkini
