This year marks the 50th anniversary of ASEAN. Evidently, the success of ASEAN as a regional grouping is attributed to the commitment and diligence of the public officers of the member countries. The Putrajaya Joint Declaration which were signed by the respective ASEAN Heads of Civil Service in November 2015, stipulates concrete actions to be taken by ASEAN Member States collectively and individually including strengthening good governance, integrity and cooperation in civil service, capacity building, technical cooperation, prioritising good regulatory practices and promoting the highest standards of professionalism, efficiency, effectiveness, participatory approach, responsiveness, transparency and accountability in the civil service.
It is timely to look at the progress made and what is in store for the future.
