“We are living in a wicked and VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world. The existential threats that face public administration globally – such as climate change and environmental degradation, the end of globalisation, or at least the most recent phase, inflation and large scale migration – calls for a more holistic approach to thinking broadly about major social problems and about the possible ways of addressing them,” said Public Service Department Director-General Dr Norfarizal bin Othman.
He made these remarks during the opening ceremony of the 14th Brunei-Singapore-Malaysia Leadership Development Programme (LDP) at Ittisal Hall, Civil Service Institute on Monday.
He also underscored the unprecedented challenges faced by governments across the world and the Civil Service should be prepared to address them.
