TEN senior government officers left for Singapore yesterday to attend the year’s Trilateral (Brunei-Malaysia-Singapore) Leadership Development Programme (LDP).
Bidding the Brunei delegation farewell were Permanent Secretary (Corporate Affairs and Public Administration) at the Prime Minister’s Office Haji Yahya bin Haji Idris and Civil Service Institute (IPA) Director Hajah Norezan binti Haji Hambali.
The programme is an annual joint event between the Civil Service Institute, Brunei (IPA), Institut Tadbiran Awam, Malaysia (INTAN) and Civil Service College, Singapore (CSC). This marks the seventh year the programme is being co-organised between the three countries.
The 12-day programme will commence at the Civil Service College in Singapore today. Malaysia will host the second leg of the programme from November 20 – 23, while the final part will be held at the Civil Service Institute from November 25 – 27.

Thirty officers from Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore are participating in the programme, which aims to allow for better networking among government officers from these countries.
The theme for the LDP in Brunei this year is ‘Service Innovation.’ It will include sharing Brunei’s experience in innovating service provision both from the public and private sector. It will also showcase initiatives in the development of innovation and service delivery to the public.
This programme creates a venue for the exchange of experience, knowledge and ideas across the three public services in managing the affairs of governance. It also hopes to provide opportunities for participants to interact in an informal setting to stimulate discussions into the mechanism of handling public policy and employing creative ways of overcoming barriers that can be added into their experience on tackling national issues.
