NRES cuts mineral licence approval time to seven days under Red Tape Reform
PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES), through the National Minerals and Geoscience Department (JMG), has successfully reduced the approval time for the Mineral Licence (Without Storage Premises) from 61 days to just seven days under its Bureaucratic Red Tape Reform (RKB) project. According to NRES, the reform is expected to lower compliance costs for mineral trading companies by up to 20 per cent, boosting both domestic and international trade and generating an estimated RM1.3 million in annual revenue for the government. 'This initiative reflects NRES' ongoing commitment to streamlining industry operations and enhancing the efficiency of public service delivery,' the ministry said in a statement today. In recognition of this achievement, JMG received a Certificate of Appreciation presented by Chief Secretary to the Government, Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, to NRES secretary-general, Datuk Dr Ching Thoo a/l Kim, on April 10. The RKB project is part of the Special Task Force on Agency Reform (STAR), chaired by the Chief Secretary, and aims to expedite regulatory processes while reducing compliance costs for businesses and the public. This move also supports the Public Service Reform Agenda 2024–2030 and the Malaysia MADANI vision, which seeks to improve government efficiency, drive productivity, and enhance public well-being. Additionally, the reform helps accelerate administrative processes, strengthen industrial competitiveness, and promote sustainable mineral exports.

Absenteeism, unapproved leave top offenses among civil servants, says Chief Secretary
KOTA KINABALU (May 9): Absenteeism, unauthorized leave and uncertified sick leave are among the most common offenses committed by civil servants, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar revealed. Speaking at the Jelajah Taat Setia MADANI Sabah programme on Friday, Shamsul Azri warned that department heads who fail to address or conceal integrity violations will face disciplinary action, including demerit points. 'Governance-related offenses, for instance, carry a 15 per cent demerit penalty,' he said. 'However, the number of offenders remains low — less than 10 per cent of civil servants. The most frequent violations include unauthorized overseas travel and uncertified sick leave.' The Jelajah Taat Setia MADANI initiative, a nationwide effort to strengthen loyalty and integrity in the civil service, drew over 2,000 federal and state public sector employees in Sabah — the second state to host the programme after Negeri Sembilan. Jointly organized by the Malaysia Nationhood Academy (AKM), the Chief Secretary's Office (KSN), and the Sabah State Government, the event aligns with the Malaysia MADANI philosophy, emphasizing efficiency, accountability and loyalty among civil servants. Shamsul Azri stressed the need for tailored approaches to Sabah's unique logistical challenges under the Public Service Reform Agenda. He also urged civil servants to uphold trust in government services, stating, 'Strong loyalty ensures effective policy implementation.' Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Noor echoed the sentiment, reminding public servants that they represent the government. 'The people observe our every action. We must maintain high standards to preserve trust in the MADANI government,' he said. The event featured a keynote talk by AKM Director-General Datuk Dr Roslan Hussin on embedding MADANI values in civil service. A Malaysia MADANI video was also launched as an educational tool for AKM's outreach efforts. The programme included government agency exhibitions and a 'Jualan Rahmah' initiative offering affordable goods and services. AKM plans to expand the tour nationwide to reinforce loyalty and service excellence among civil servants.
