A total of 40,729 positions have been approved this year to be filled in ministries, departments and agencies, Public Service Department (PSD) director-general Mohd Shafiq Abdullah said.

The posts would cater to the operation of completed facilities and critical services schemes in the health, safety, education and enforcement sectors, he said in a statement released in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

“PSD is always committed to the filling of positions for all ministries, departments and agencies to ensure the delivery of Keluarga Malaysia (Malaysian Family) services is at the optimum and best level, especially when the country is in the transition to endemic phase and national recovery,” Shafiq (above) added.
